🚨 Flagler Fugitive Accused of Sexually Battering Child Under 12 Returned to Florida 🚨After weeks of delays and legal wrangling in North Carolina, 72-year-old Kermit Booth—wanted on two counts of sexual battery on a child under 12—is now back in Florida custody.Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly and his team personally traveled to North Carolina to bring Booth back after his second arrest on a governor’s warrant. He’s now being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Detention Facility on $500,000 bond and faces life in prison if convicted.Sheriff Staly didn’t mince words:“I hope he enjoyed his flight back to Florida because it’ll probably be the last flight he takes. Hopefully, he’ll be spending the rest of his life in prison.”Booth’s case stretches back nearly two decades, with allegations dating between 2006–2009 when the victim was just 6 to 9 years old. The victim bravely came forward again in 2023, allowing investigators to relaunch the case and uncover new evidence.Sheriff Staly thanked Governor Ron DeSantis, NC Governor Roy Cooper, Macon County Sheriff Holbrooks, and Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson for their roles in making this extradition possible.Booth’s return marks the beginning of what Sheriff Staly says will hopefully be long-overdue justice for the victim. ...
