What they're saying:
Sheriff Judd expressed frustration over the former reality star's continued encounters with law enforcement.
"This guy is in trouble, and he needs to be in prison," Judd stated. "He is obviously a slow learner."
He added, "Yeah, that’s right, you ought to drive on a suspended license when you are already in trouble in Naples and you’re on parole from a 30-year-sentence in South Dakota because that way we know about it and can violate all of your paroles and send you back to jail."
