A Florida woman and a Florida sheriff’s office appear to be trading barbs in a viral social media battle over an outstanding warrant and investigative work efforts, respectively.
On Tuesday, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office uploaded a wanted poster on Facebook, requesting the public’s help for information on the whereabouts of Kwanteria “Panky” Alizeyh Richardson, 27.
The poster reads: “Kwanteria Richardson, AKA Alizeyh Richardson AKA Panky, has an outstanding warrant since December 2024 for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.”
That was just the beginning.
In quick succession, a Facebook user identified as Alizeyh Richardson shared the department’s post with a sarcastic caption reading: “Shidddd I ain’t hard to find…do ya job.”
Richardson’s post prompted dozens of additional Facebook users to also share the law enforcement wanted poster – but with an eye toward amusement instead of turning the wanted woman in.

After that, it was the sheriff’s office’s turn.

In a since-deleted Facebook post, the agency replied:
Eyyyy Alizeyh Richardson low key, you ate that!

A copy of the sheriff’s office’s emoji-interspersed reply was captured by Tampa Bay-based Fox affiliate WTVT before it was deleted.
The back-and-forth reportedly continued once more.

In what looks to be the final public volley, Richardson allegedly contested the sheriff’s office’s characterization of her initial taunt – insisting that she “high key ate.”
The woman also reportedly said: “y’all mad, now come get me.”
As of this writing, there is not a female inmate with the last name of Richardson in the Alachua County jail.
