ST. PETERSBURG - Hydra Lacy Jr., the man suspected of fatally shooting three law enforcement officers in St. Petersburg this morning, has a long criminal history, records show.
Lacy, 39, was arrested back in 1988 for grand theft auto, aggravated assault, and resisting arrest. He spent more than three years in prison.
Not long after his release, he was arrested on several charges, including sexual battery and kidnapping. He spent over 15 years behind bars for those crimes.
Since his release in 2008, he’s had arrests related to violation of probation and domestic disputes.
Lacy was registered as a sexual offender as a result of the 1992 arrest, but the latest update from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement lists him as “absconded,” or no longer living at the address he reported to authorities.
Lacy is the older brother of Jeff ‘Left Hook’ Lacy, the former two-time IBF super middleweight world champion.
Pray for our LE officers. There appears to have been a ghetto declaration of war against them.
