Mike Schillmoeller steered police to a homeless man wanted in a string of bomb threats. The Cocoa man, 22, contacted Central Florida Crimeline, a hotline that offered a $5,000 prize for information leading to arrests.
But Crimeline won't pay, reports Florida Today.
That's because when Schillmoeller and his dog Stoner found the suspect, David Disharoon, in a wooded area, he called 911 about 20 minutes before Crimeline.
Schillmoeller lost his anonymity when he called 911 and failed to supply Crimeline operators with a “tip,” said Crimeline's ExecutiveDirector Barb Bergin, reports Florida Today.
“Pretty much the next time if I find a wanted fugitive I’m going to let them go,” Schillmoeller told Florida Today. “There’s really no reason to help out. They want they public to help them out but they don’t want to return the favor.”
