Florida man, 28, is arrested for the 66th time on drugs and firearms charges after being on the run for months - as cops blast light sentences which saw him back on the street

A Florida man was arrested for the 66th time on Wednesday after he was on the run from authorities for eight months.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office took Kizer Pontoon, 28, into custody for resisting an officer, attempting to flee the scene with sirens activated and a moving traffic violation.

Authorities featured Pontoon as part of their 'Fugitive Friday' series, noting that he has been spotlighted four times and has more than five dozen local arrests.

'[Pontoon] was most recently featured in October 2019 for failure to appear, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana, high speed vehicle pursuit while fleeing to elude, and driving while license suspended,' they wrote.
