ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. – A man wanted in a Florida shooting was found Friday “folded, not so neatly” inside a dryer, according to sheriff’s officials.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said David Jerome Jackson, 31, was a suspect in a March shooting and deputies received a tip he was in a home along Edgewater Drive.

Law enforcement searched the home and found Jackson inside the dryer.

“After an extensive search, deputies proceeded to the laundry room, where they finally discovered Jackson, folded, not so neatly inside a remarkably small dryer drum. The look on his face, a combination of guilt, embarrassment, and warm hosiery,” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook.

Deputies pulled him out of the dryer, “one limb at a time,” and took him into custody.

He faces charges of shooting into a dwelling, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, damage to property and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
