Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said that they are still looking for one more person in the sting, Operation K.I.S.S. He is identified as 27-year-old Benjerman D. Roy of Orlando. Johnson said that Roy fled from deputies but they will find him. Johnson said the sting was conducted through various social media websites and chat sites.
