A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing a boat and trying to elude deputies by disguising himself in women’s clothing and a wig in Glades County.

According to the Glades County Sheriff’s Office, on Wednesday, at approximately 3:03 p.m., deputies were investigating a recovered stolen boat at the Old Caloosa Lodge area in Lakeport.  

When deputies began canvassing the area, they witnessed 33-year-old Joshua Kolotka leaving a home dressed as a woman. They believe it was an attempt to disguise himself.

Deputies were able to apprehend Kolotka, and he was arrested for two Okeechobee County warrants, along with the theft of a John Deere Gator and the stolen boat.

Numerous other items were found at the scene.

These items were possibly stolen from the same area. The sheriff’s office is also working with the Seminole Police Department to identify some of the stolen items from other theft cases in that area.
