Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said detectives have arrested two men and a woman responsible for the fatal shootings of three friends found dead while headed to a fishing trip near Frostproof on Friday night.

At a news conference Wednesday, Judd identified the suspects as Tony ”T.J.” Wiggins, 26, his girlfriend Mary Whittemore, 27, and Wiggins’ brother Robert Wiggins, 21.

Among the leads that drew detectives to the suspects were tips to the Crime Stoppers line.

“Look at T.J. Wiggins from Frostproof,” Judd quoted some of the callers saying. “Not because they had any idea he did it, just because he’s mean.”

There are a lot of mean people in this world. And I think they may end up meeting Ol' Sparky at Raiford.

1. They are so evil!

Especially that one guy with 230 felony charges and 15 convictions and he's only 26 years old!

without rotting in jail?

8. His GF has ZERO record

And apparently is a "nice girl."

Those poor guys they murdered. God.

3. Holy crap, the guy pictured on the right is only 21?

Both of those psychos look like they're at least 35.

4. The immortal words of Jackson Browne

I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital
He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven,
But that's impossible
Cocaine you look like you could be forty-five"

I do suspect a different drug though.

6. Drugs + a mean/hard upbringing.

Those two are just scary.

They need to put TJ Wiggins in jail permanently. He is beyond help.
