All things Florida Man (2 Viewers)

CRESTVIEW, Fla. (AP) — Florida deputies used a taser to stop a man who tried to avoid arrest by fleeing on a riding lawn mower on Saturday.

The Okaloosa County sheriff’s office said it was trying to serve arrest warrants on the 40-year-old man and found him on the mower in a backyard. They shouted at him to stop and get on the ground when he tried to escape on the mower.

Deputies chased him on foot before using the taser. When he was finally caught deputies found him with a revolver, a handcuff key and a pipe with methamphetamine residue……..


 
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — When a naked man in southwestern Florida recently raised a ruckus outside his house and threatened a deputy with a kitchen knife, the SWAT team swooped in and apprehended him.

Soon afterward, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marcenostood on the man’s driveway in combat gear for a news conference while the suspect went to the jailhouse that the sheriff likes to call the “Marceno Motel.”

“He’s an oxygen-stealer and a scumbag, and I’m glad he’s outta here,” Marceno told reporters. “I’m proud to say that in this county, if you present deadly physical force ... we meet you with deadly force every time, and we win. It’s pretty clean, pretty quick.”

The Sunshine State has become internationally notorious for the oddball miscreants who populate its police blotters and local news reports — known collectively as Florida Man.

There are murders and mayhem, like anyplace else, and then there are the only-in-Florida incidents like the man charged with assault with a deadly weapon for throwing an alligator through a Wendy’s drive-thru window in Palm Beach County in 2015.

But an equally eccentric cast of hard-boiled sheriffs make a career of going after these guys. Florida Man, meet Florida Sheriff…….

Yep. New trend I guess. Sometimes it’s over the top.
 
My daughter went with a friend an her parents to Orange Beach in Alabama for a week (a few years ago). The dad is a police officer. My daughter said they went out to eat one night and he drank a lot. She said the mom had to have a screaming match with him about him wanting to drive back to the Condo. Luckily the mom was able to tee him off enough to let her drive. Makes me wonder how many times he has driven drunk.
 
I just don't understand people who get road rage like that.. People with road rage are just idiots..
You make it sound like it's a choice. I would assume that people don't choose to feel rage. I'd never get out of my car and confront someone but I absolutely yell at people when they either don't go fast enough, don't use their turn signals, ran a red light or any other type of thing.

I don't drive to work anymore, so that helps. :hihi:
