That's when the suspect told the 16-year-old's grandfather, "I wouldn't go in there if I was you. I killed someone. You may need to call the police." The grandfather told investigators that it wasn't uncommon for the suspect to say "bizarre" things, Sheriff Judd said. According to authorities, the suspect has a history of using methamphetamine and has had psychotic episodes previously.  Investigators said they arrested Stephan Thomas Rodda, 37, after he took off from the homicide scene and tried to leave Polk County.  Sources: https://www.fox13news.com/news/father-accused-of-killing-16-year-old-son-in-lake-wales-polk-deputies-say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPpggoCZUz0 https://www.polksheriff.org Learn more about your ad choices.
