GLADES COUNTY, Florida - Around 3 p.m. on April 24, 2024, Glades County Sheriff’s Office deputies were investigating a recovered stolen boat located at the Old Caloosa Lodge area in Lakeport, Florida.  

During this time, the alleged suspect of the theft was identified as 33-year-old Joshua Kolotka. 

When the deputies began canvassing the area in search of the Florida man, they observed him exiting a residence dressed as a woman in an attempt to disguise himself. 

The deputies were able to apprehend Kolotka and he was arrested for two Okeechobee County warrants, along with the theft of a John Deere Gator and the stolen boat.  

Deputies also found numerous other items located at the scene which they say were possibly stolen from the same area. 

The Glades County Sheriff’s Office is also working with the Seminole Police Department to identify some of the stolen items from other theft cases in that area.
