The Osceola County Sheriff's Office began a criminal investigation against Scheidt after Miami Beach police notified the agency Thursday that the police radio in his possession belonged to the agency. By late afternoon, an Osceola County judge had issued a warrant for the teen's arrest on a single felony count of grand theft, Lizasuain said. Deputies rearrested him a little before 10 p.m. in South Florida.
"I can confirm the radio belongs to the Sheriff's Office, but keep in mind it is a nonfunctioning radio," said Lizasuain, explaining it was an old model deactivated by the agency. "We will pursue criminal charges."
Lizasuain said the badge Scheidt was carrying looked like an agency badge.
"They're extremely similar, but absolutely that was not an Osceola County sheriff's badge," she said.
