Ochlockonee Bay merchants say Franklin County is leaving men there

A screenshot from surveillance video at Tide Creek Coastal Market in Ochlockonee Bay showing a Franklin County deputy dropping off a shirtless, shoeless man on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 5:56 a.m. The man was at the store all day asking store employees for food, customers for money until Wakulla deputies were called at closing.

The deputy drops off the man and then drives away, headed back across the bridge to Franklin County.
