Rims, vehicles, BBQ Smoker sold at JSO auction

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Rims, vehicles and even a BBQ smoker was sold at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office auction at Everbank Field on Thursday.

The auction raises money for the Sheriff’s Office.

“I’m here to try and bid on a vehicle for my daughter” said bidder, Jim Snowden.

JSO said many of the vehicles were seized during drug busts or robberies. A person attempted to sell a BBQ smoker with the vin number removed, which is illegal.

“These vehicles are a culmination of seizures the Sheriff’s Office does throughout the years, essentially anyone who commits a felony,” said JSO Christian Hancock.

JSO said it can only use the money for equipment and training.
