Avon Park man arrested by PCSO for exposing himself to women while driving
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 32-year-old man on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 after a complaint about him exposing himself to a woman while driving, and the subsequent investigation caught him in the act of exposing himself.
Justin Mosser of Avon Park was charged with three counts of Indecent Exposure in Public (M1) and two counts of Committing a Lewd Act (M2). The charges stem from two separate incidents.
“First, nobody wants to see that. It’s disgusting, rude, and perverted. Second, it’s dangerous to be doing something like this while driving. This is wrong on so many levels. Great work by the detectives to find this guy so quickly. He said he’s done this before, so we’re asking for his other victims to contact the Sheriff’s Office.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff.
On May 11, 2020, a woman reported that she was driving on Hwy 60 near the Lake Wales Airport at about 8:00 a.m., when she noticed the driver in a gray Mazda next to her was waving and trying to get her attention. When she looked over, she saw that his penis was completely exposed and he began to masturbate.
The woman contacted the Polk County Sheriff’s Office to report what happened. She provided a detailed description of the man and turned over photos that she took of his car and license plate.
PCSO Vice detectives were able to identify the suspect as Mosser. On Wednesday morning, they surveilled Mosser.
As a female undercover detective was driving on Hwy 27 near Pine Crest Road, a gray Mazda began driving alongside of her unmarked vehicle. When the detective looked over at the driver, who was Mosser, his penis was exposed and he was trying to draw her attention to it. As the vehicles got side by side again, the driver again exposed his penis and began masturbating.
A traffic stop was conducted on the Mazda, and Mosser was arrested. He told detectives that he often drives with his penis exposed because he gets hot and “airs it out.” He claimed that he has done this sort of thing about four or five times to random women while driving down the road. Detectives say that he showed no remorse for his actions.
Mosser’s prior criminal history includes arrests for Burglary, Grand Theft, Criminal Mischief, Giving False Name to a LEO, Resisting, DUI, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, and Driving While License Suspended/Revoked.
On 5-13-20 at approximately 7:50 p.m., a 9-1-1 call was received regarding a two-story structure that was on fire. The structure located at 540 Ave. A. NE in Winter Haven is an older home that has been converted into individual apartments. There were no injuries to the residents or firefighters. One dog needed oxygen after suffering minor smoke inhalation.
One of the upstairs tenants started to smell smoke and upon searching, located one room where a mattress was on fire. The tenant in that specific room was away at work. Immediately, Christopher Klimczak, Sr. attempted to extinguish the flames, but the fire continued to spread. Klimczak started going to other tenants making them aware of the fire and told them all to seek safety immediately. Klimczak also assisted in rescuing a dog with her puppies. A total of 14 adults and children live in the multi-unit building. When Winter Haven Firefighters arrived, they saw heavy black smoke and flames coming from upstairs. The power lines were still live at the time.
Approximately 45 minutes later, firefighters had the flames under control and continued to monitor the structure for any hot spots. All residents were able to exit safely including a dog and puppies. The mother dog had minor smoke inhalation and is expected to fully recover. The Red Cross responded to assist the residents with accommodations. Fire investigators determined the fire was accidental appearing to have started in a power strip that was plugged in.
Winter Haven Police detectives are investigating a homicide that occurred on May 7, 2020 at approximately 12:45 a.m. in the parking area of Abbey Lane Apartments, located at 100 Evergreen Place in Winter Haven.
A group of people were outside talking in the area of building 14, when shots were fired striking 33 year-old Carlos Robinson (DOB 8-18-86, LKA 208 Evergreen Place SE, Winter Haven). The subjects fled in vehicles and left the area traveling in the direction of Marshall Rd. SW. Responding officers on scene immediately attempted to render life-saving measures, however the victim died from his injury.
Investigators are asking for the public’s help in locating possible witnesses Tamaries Richardson (DOB 10-24-93), Rayshad Johnson (DOB 11-7-92) and Derrick Braithwaite (DOB 9-11-86) for interviews.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Richardson, Johnson or Braithwaite or any information about this case is asked to call Detective Haynes at 863-291-5730. Callers wishing to remain anonymous should call Heartland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS (8477). Callers are guaranteed anonymity and could be eligible for a CASH reward of up to $3,500.
On Tuesday, May 12, 2020, Polk County Sheriff’s detectives arrested 50-year-old Margaret Pilgram* and charged her then-boyfriend, 54-year-old Michael Wayne Montgomery (who was already in the Polk County Jail) with one count each grand theft (F3), and obtaining property by fraud (F3), after they defrauded Warner University of nearly $3,500.00. Montgomery was also charged with one count giving false information to law enforcement during an investigation (M1).
According to their affidavits, Montgomery and Pilgram were dating before and during the time when Montgomery was in state prison from 2017 to January 2019. From August 2011 to November 2016, Pilgram was employed by Warner University.
While Montgomery was in prison, Pilgram told him that she was having financial issues, so she enrolled Montgomery as a student at Warner for the summer 2018 and spring 2019 terms, and completed a student loan application for him, which was approved. She also communicated with the school back and forth through the student email account created in Montgomery’s name, with the exception of one occasion where she attempted to communicate with the school from her own personal email account. Pilgram created an American Express Bluebird account, where the student loan check from Warner for $3,454 was deposited. During recorded phone calls from prison, the couple discussed the fraudulent activity, including the classwork being completed by “Mr. M,” correspondence sent to the school, the creation of the Bluebird account, and the check deposit.
PCSO detectives worked with Warner University employees to retrieve emails and documents related to the scheme to defraud. The Chief Financial Officer explained to detectives that the school had to repay the $3,454 back to the loan company, due to the fact that the loan company issues the funds to the school, and the school provides the student with a check. “Warner University does a great job helping people access higher education opportunities. The fact that a former employee with insider knowledge took advantage of the system to steal money is awful. We appreciate the cooperation of Warner’s staff with this student loan fraud investigation – we are going to hold these two accountable.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff Pilgram was taken into custody at her home, and detectives filed add-on charges against Montgomery, who has been in the Polk County Jail since August 2019 for failure to register as a sex offender, and VOP (he was released from state prison in January 2019). Pilgram bonded out of jail after posting $2,000 bond. Montgomery, AKA John Murray with the same DOB of 09/16/66, is a registered sexual offender from a 1994 conviction for sexual battery. His criminal history includes 31 felonies, 17 misdemeanors, 8 trips to state prison, and the following previous arrests:
1985 – theft, resisting arrest, burglary, grand theft, theft of utilities, dealing in stolen property, disorderly conduct
1986 – aggravated battery on a LEO, grand theft, resisting arrest, dealing in stolen property, larceny, failure to appear
1987 – aggravated assault on a LEO, smuggling into detention center, resisting arrest, failure to appear, VOP
1990 – marijuana possession
1991 – armed robbery, sexual assault, aggravated battery
1992 – sexual battery, marijuana possession, resisting arrest
2011 – grand theft of motor vehicle, burglary, failure to register as sex offender, marijuana possession
2016 – VOP
2017 – failure to register as sex offender, VOP
2019 – failure to register as sex offender, VOP
*At the time of the crimes, Pilgram was not married, and went by her maiden name Margaret Jackson, AKA “Peggy Jackson.” She has since gotten married, and lives in Bartow.
Hope Equine Rescue near Winter Haven received a brand new Massey Ferguson tractor yesterday thanks to Polk Sheriff’s Charities, Inc., Grove Equipment Service Inc., Representative Sam Killebrew, and other generous donors. Sheriff Grady Judd, Robby McKeeman of Grove Equipment Service, Representative Sam Killebrew, several agricultural deputies, and board members for Polk Sheriff’s Charities were on hand to donate a new Massey Fergusson MF2760E tractor to Dani Horton of Hope Equine Rescue.
Dani and her volunteers do an amazing job working with traumatized, neglected, abandoned, and abused horses and donkeys, nursing them back to health and preparing them for adoption. Dani’s old, undersized tractor finally bit the dust this year, and she needed a new one.
“Hope Equine Rescue has been a tremendous help to not only a lot of horses, but also to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. They have taken in more than 115 equines from PCSO neglect and abandonment cases. I am very excited that Polk Sheriff’s Charities, Inc. can do something to help in return. I thank all those who participate in Polk Sheriff Charities’ fund raising events—they are making a difference for local neglected animals and for heroes who care for them, like Dani.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff.

Application Whitelisting is a technology that contains a list of known good applications and their file access privileges. Application Whitelisting works together with Application Blacklisting to keep malware and other unauthorized software from running on a system. Because Application Whitelisting only allows trusted software to execute in your managed IT environment, malicious software packages are prevented from making any unauthorized changes.
From a security perspective Application Whitelisting is the most secure way of managing what
software is allowed to execute on the PC’s and Server’s in your environment.
This is because Application Whitelisting
allows the execution of only known trusted applications and blocks everything
else by default. Taking this approach, you will have the best chances of
stopping even “Zero Day” types of Cyber
Attacks.
“Zero Day” Cyber Attacks are
attacks that exploit software vulnerabilities that were previously unknown or
undisclosed by a software vendor. The first day a vulnerability is discovered
is known as “day zero”.
With so many Application Whitelisting Software packages on the market it can be really hard to make a decision on how to move forward.
For environment’s that have the team and resources available you can utilize a self-managed Application Whitelisting services. For smaller Teams or organizations looking to augment their existing staff there are Managed Service Provider Application Whitelisting options available.
At the end of the day by utilizing an Application Whitelisting technology in your environment you can have peace of mind knowing you have real-time protections against Ransomware/Malware, APT’s (advanced persistent threats), and “Zero-Day” types of Cyber Attacks.
If you are looking for a better solution to protect your endpoints, have a need for remote management, need visibility into pc performance, or would like to capture pc software inventory I can help find a solution for you.

They made contact with the driver of the 2016 Dodge van, 37-year-old Karla Del Rosari Camejo Quiva of Clermont, and observed that she appeared to be impaired. They also detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath. A four-year-old child was also in the vehicle.
Neither were injured.
A Traffic deputy responded to the scene and conducted a DUI investigation.
Quiva exhibited signs of impairment during the field sobriety test. She was transported to the Polk County Jail, where breath test results showed .155 and .164 blood alcohol content (.08 is legally impaired).
