Officers in Broward County set up a sting operation to bring in suspects on the run. Letters were sent out to alleged fugitives granting hoaxed stimulus money. The fugitives were asked to contact a representative for an appointment and then show up at a location hosted by the South Florida Stimulus Coalition to claim their funds. Officers were waiting in the wings and arrested the suspects upon arrival.
The two day operation "Show Me the Money" resulted in the arrest of 75 fugitives. The defendants faced charges of felony attempted murder to grand theft auto. A spokesperson for the Broward County Sherriff's Office stated that this productive sting operation promoted safety for all those involved by arresting suspects in a controlled atmosphere. In addition, the sting saved countless man hours and tax dollars by negating the necessity of tracking suspects who were running from the law.
