This email prank has been circulating for a couple of weeks now. It is a total hoax.
There is no Captain Abraham Sands in the Jacksonville, Florida Police Dept. In fact, there is no Jacksonville, Florida Police Dept. I live in Jax. It's the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
This made the news here a few weeks back. I think the most important thing the JSO spokesperson said was this:
"If such an event was occurring, do you really think we'd publicize it via an internet email? Any threat to public safety such as this would be announced through the traditional news media."
People, PLEASE check these things out before spreading hysteria.
