\u2014 Three men are now facing multiple charges for a string of energy drink thefts across the city of Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office credits the arrests to the work of their District 2 Patrol and tips submitted through JSO\u2019s unsolved crimes page.<\/p>\n<p
