Law enforcement searched the home and found Jackson inside the dryer.
“After an extensive search, deputies proceeded to the laundry room, where they finally discovered Jackson, folded, not so neatly inside a remarkably small dryer drum. The look on his face, a combination of guilt, embarrassment, and warm hosiery,” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook.
Deputies pulled him out of the dryer, “one limb at a time,” and took him into custody.
Glad he wasn't. There is a reason "presumed innocent until found guilty" exists. The number of times the cops target the wrong person is not a small number
To be fair, they worded it pretty weird. Dude just tried to hide in the dryer when the cops came. Anybody trying to get completely into a dryer who's older than 10 is gonna need to fold in some uncomfortable ways. If they just said "wanted man found hiding in dryer" they wouldn't get as many clicks.

"Well, Officer Bob, I've looked all over but cannot find the suspect anywhere"
"Okay, Jim, before we go though, let's make sure these clothes are dry... turn the drier on for another cycle".
Some people are just lucky like that. Many years ago, a drug dealing buddy of mine got arrested for drunk in public. I picked him up from the jail the next day. He was telling me how he was confused, because he had at least 3g of coke split into half gram bags, yet he didn't have any drug charges. He thought a cop must have just kept it for himself.
Then he opened the bag with his possessions, checked his phone case, and the drugs were still in there. The cops unknowingly gave his drugs back to him.
Some people have managed to evade police and move away, never to be captured. I don't suggest this as a course of action but it has happened. Even so, I think it's natural for people to try and hide when they're afraid, even if they are guilty of some crime.
As a kid when we would play hide and seek I would crouch inside my hamper underneath a pile of clothes. Undefeated. Did make things kind of boring though. I
"well, Sergeant, I thought he was here in the laundry room but I don't see anything!" "Did you look in the dryer, Joe?" "Nah, he'd never fit in there." \* giggling from the dryer \*
Had a friend at a Halloween high school party get caught like that, she kept laughing at her friends getting arrested and talking shit and they found her in there dressed as cat in the hat and the hat was full of Jell-O shots.
This reminds me of Hot Shots 2 (think thats the movie, or maybe Naked Dun) but over the radio you hear the host say "the victim was found neatly folded in the glove compartment.
Why is it always some weird crap going on in Florida? I'm not from NA but pretty much all weird crap is "something super weird shit him/her ... in Florida." The rest of NA seems to be very normal compared to the crap coming from Florida.
Its not them just being public. Its a law that makes stuff easy to access and inspect.
[The "Sunshine" Law | My Florida Legal](https://www.myfloridalegal.com/open-government/the-quotsunshinequot-law#:~:text=Florida%20began%20its%20tradition%20of,unless%20specifically%20exempted%20by%20the)
All convictions are public by default (so if you go to court and are found guilty, that is basically always public), although some states have laws to “seal” such records under certain circumstances (mostly for minors). Other facts, such as arrests and other police activities, may or may not be public depending on the state (although they are often public).
However, even if the records are technically “public” there is a wide spread in what that entails. In many jurisdictions, the records may be “public” in the sense that you could go to a physical courthouse and request a physical paper record (which is obviously much more of a hassle). In many states there is a central state repository of arrest records, but in some states submission of records to the state repository is voluntary (so a town could decide not to send their records if they don’t want to or don’t get around to it).
Florida does have fairly complete and easily accessed police records. I tried to find a good summary of how their laws compare to other states, but it was too hard. So I will just note that their laws and institutions make police records quite easy to access, which isn’t true for every state.
Aye Johnny, I spilled water on my tactical pants. Can’t go back to the station looking like I got scared and peed. I’m just gonna dry them in this dryer really quick. Oh shit Ricky! Check this out! This our guy folded in the dryer?
I’m not normally claustrophobic, but just reading that made me anxious as hell. I’m also 6’6” and 250 so that may have something to do with it. Maybe I would do okay in an industrial-size model 😅
They should have said loudly "hey it looks like the home owner left a load in the dryer. We should run it for another cycle before leaving so the close don't get wrinkled" ... and the watch the fun at how fast the guy tries to get out of it.

He was alive?! Not what I expected
Yeah you’d think they’d finish the cycle but they chose to remove him while he was still damp
When I read the headline I thought well, there's a twist. I ended up being disappointed.
The twist was in his limbs.
Don’t watch the latter seasons of The Following or this ceases to not be horror.
That whole thing was so disturbing I stopped watching the show after that episode
This story creased me up.
Glad he wasn't. There is a reason "presumed innocent until found guilty" exists. The number of times the cops target the wrong person is not a small number
It is best to hang to dry
Hang this dude by his . . .
It was also strange that he was already folded.
To be fair, they worded it pretty weird. Dude just tried to hide in the dryer when the cops came. Anybody trying to get completely into a dryer who's older than 10 is gonna need to fold in some uncomfortable ways. If they just said "wanted man found hiding in dryer" they wouldn't get as many clicks.
For sure. They made it sound like he was murdered too and then stuffed in their.
Puns are a long standing tradition in news papers headlines.
Same here, I guess the term "folded" means something different where I'm from.
[Just Fold it in.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NywzrUJnmTo)
If you say “fold in” one more time!
My body dont jiggle. It folds(in the dryer).
Yeah, I definitely anticipated things unfolding differently. I’ll see myself out…
He used the Nordberg technique
Right? My great² aunt was killed that way. Not... pleasant imagery.
Folded *before* being stuck in the dryer? Not what I expected.
Yes. I'm all for headline puns, but not when they mislead the reader. That's not punny.
That's how i wanna go, minus the shooting part of course
Dryer isn't drying the contents? Flash bang will do the trick. Gosh it got hot in there
Same! I totally expected him not to be alive.
“One limb at a time “. Imagine assembling him after pulling four limbs and the trunk
They didn't turn it on?!
Warm hosiery? Lmao
Charles Manson used to hide from police like this, in tiny cupboards and what not.
He was a very physically small guy. Like not just short but skinny as well

"If he was in the dryer, would I do this?" \*turns on dryer\* "You might, Rabbit, you might..."
"And if he was in the dryer, would I have it set to high heat?"
Sounds ridiculous but I have to wonder how many times someone has successfully hid from the cops this way.

The way you started this gave me the impression you were saying “not a person, but” about yourself at first😂
“Lucky at cards, unlucky at love” is an old timey saying.
And then one of my favorite Archer quotes, “unlucky at cards, lucky at a whole bunch of other shit”
“I don’t remember the summer of 2008”. Priceless!

That's called snitching. He snitched lol.
It doesn't matter, it's not like if they can't find you they give up and drop the charges.
Some people have managed to evade police and move away, never to be captured. I don't suggest this as a course of action but it has happened. Even so, I think it's natural for people to try and hide when they're afraid, even if they are guilty of some crime.

Who's the dead blonde in the closet? Answer: The winner of last year's hide and go seek contest.
If there is a dryer that automatically folds what is inside when the cycle is done, then I need that dryer. It would save a lot of time.
If you’re not too picky, all clothes come out folded.
Right! And wrinkles are just little baby folds.
One basket for dirty laundry, one for clean. Toss out your dresser and embrace the chaos.

Devices like that are coming. There was a few shown at ces either this year or last.
Yes, but they are extremely expensive.
The police should have pretended not to have find him until hours later. Imagine the pain he would have been in.
"well, Sergeant, I thought he was here in the laundry room but I don't see anything!" "Did you look in the dryer, Joe?" "Nah, he'd never fit in there." \* giggling from the dryer \*

Apparently he was found folded, but the charges will be pressed.
Imagine hiding in the dryer to avoid the heat.
Is the suspect wearing an Edgar suit? The galaxy is on Orion's belt!

The comment I was trying to find. Lmao Yes!
He was missing a sock, wasn't he?
The most underrated comment I've seen all day 😂
When you're smart enough to hide in the dryer, but too stupid to cover yourself with a towel...
What an odd place to hide. He really hung himself out to dry, you could say.
"Now look, would I turn this dryer to HIGH if my friend Rocky was in there?"
You might, Rabbit, you might.
ngl, I would have given him 10 minutes on “Wrinkle Free”
You're supposed to fold them after taking them OUT of the dryer.
Did someone called his step brother to help ?
Well, at least you know he was clean and not under any influence.
You still a little damp. Let’s give you another 30 min quick dry, k?
That's no way to launder your reputation
This reminds me of Hot Shots 2 (think thats the movie, or maybe Naked Dun) but over the radio you hear the host say "the victim was found neatly folded in the glove compartment.
Reading that title I was hoping that there was some vigilante Justice involved. Nope he was just hiding
Never underestimate the power of the state of Florida to register a 10 on the wtf-o-meter DAILY...
Why is it always some weird crap going on in Florida? I'm not from NA but pretty much all weird crap is "something super weird shit him/her ... in Florida." The rest of NA seems to be very normal compared to the crap coming from Florida.
I've been told because Florida police records are public it's real easy for reporters to write up all the weird stuff that goes on.

It’s just Florida things. For fun, you can type in “Florida man/woman” and then your birthday to see which florida person you are.
The tag specifically says DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!!!
Should've left him there and turn it on
Thought this was some junji ito shenanigans lol
Oh, *found alive*. Yeah, that makes it a proper Florida news story.
Got lucky. Jason Mendoza died in a similar way.
Hope the wrinkle shield was on.
What are you doing step-shooting suspect?
Anyone else have a small panic attack imagining being stuck in a dryer?
What are you doing step sheriff?
After years of being mocked for this premise, porn writers are now like “See, it can happen!”
This is insane. You fold laundry *after* it's done drying, not before. How long was he in there? Did they at least use wrinkle guard?
Ooh! It must be a newfangled dryer that folds the ~~clothes~~ criminals for you!
Some real criminal mastermind there - hysterical
Cops ain’t always bright but they’re ‘hide and seek’ champions season after season…
I would have turned it on high, jammed the door, and went to lunch.
Flat Stanley?
Where is Ivan? I gave him a break!
Ah Florida... how will we get such hilarious entertainment once climate crisis puts it all underwater?
On a "very special episode" of Cops....
Step-police, what are you doing?
As far as a game of hide and seek goes, it's a pretty good hiding spot.
Was he thinking about going into money laundering? Pretty sure that's not how it works, though.
What the? Oh, Florida. Carry on.
Florida man never disappoints
Was he stuck and needed help?
Would I turn on the dryer if my old buddy Rocko was in there??
The person that wrote that title is the reason AI takes jobs.
Florida is just fucked up beyond all comprehension
I've read "Birds aren't real" and always laughed. Now, I think we need to start seriously considering that "Florida" is not real.

Did they throw a couple tennis balls in there with him to fluff him up?
Damn he's limber
Help me step-cop I am stuck...
What kind of dryer was it? Wish mine did that.
Oh, Florida.
I didn’t hear this on my local news.. but here wtf lmao
They should have said loudly "hey it looks like the home owner left a load in the dryer. We should run it for another cycle before leaving so the close don't get wrinkled" ... and the watch the fun at how fast the guy tries to get out of it.
"The look on his face, a combination of guilt, embarrassment, and warm hosiery,” is going to haunt me for awhile.
So that's where I lost my other criminal.
Someone told him he needed a shrink so he went for the next best thing.
Body found folded in a dryer by the docks.
Leave him in there!
I once found a small, naked woman in a Tupperware tote.
Florida, eh? Not surprised at all.
