I'm ok with this.
Let's play a game. Go on google and search for "Florida man" followed by your birthday. Then post the best news article you find.

For instance mine would be "Florida Man November 4th". Which gives me:

Florida man who allegedly threatened family with Coldplay lyrics ends standoff after SWAT promises him pizza

quote:

A Florida man accused of threatening his family by texting them Coldplay lyrics, and warning them of retribution from his “Nazi prison associates” was persuaded by police to end a standoff in return for a fresh slice of pizza, reports say.

Evan Charles McLemore, under the belief that SWAT team negotiators were ready to hand him one of America’s favorite foods, was taken into custody Tuesday following a 4-hour confrontation at a Pensacola home.

"Never underestimate the power of pizza with flavored crust," the Pensacola Police Department wrote on Facebook, while adding officers “cannot comment on the rumors about pineapple being on said pizza - Operational Security and all that.”

It was not immediately clear if responding officers even gave McLemore a slice -- but they did deliver him charges of resisting an officer without violence and aggravated stalking, according to the Pensacola News Journal.

Florida Man Runs from Cops, Stops to Pet Cat, Goes to Jail :3:

https://987theshark.com/2020/03/09/florida-man-runs-from-cops-stops-to-pet-cat-goes-to-jail/

quote:

Daniel Pinedo-Velapatino is in some serious kitty litter. It all started when the man allegedly stole $2,000 form another man’s wallet at a party. Police responded and have chase when Valepatino ran. At one point, the suspect slipped into the sliding glass rear door of a private residence and told the owner he was doing some work at a neighbor’s house. The homeowner gave Velapatino some water as he sat and played with the family cat. The woman’s husband began to ask Velapatino more detailed questions and became suspicious. Police eventually found the man and arrested him.


EDIT: The cat story wasn’t the first result, but it is the funniest one I saw on the Page 1. The first result is still pretty stupid and funny, though.

Florida Man Claims Trump Bumper Sticker Motivated Road Rage Attack

https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/florida-man-claims-trump-bumper-sticker-motivated-road-rage-attack/33529/

quote:

Gregg Dunay was left beaten and bloody after he said he was the victim of a road rage attack in Pinellas County, Florida. Dunay claimed he was targeted for having a Trump bumper sticker and a Trump banner on his minivan.

He said the attack happened Wednesday when he tried to change lanes and another driver wouldn’t let him.

That’s when he said the situation escalated.

"He was cursing at me. He's saying 'F Trump,' 'F Trump's mother,' all this stuff and I just said that's why Trump is now our president, because of stuff like this," Dunay said.

Surveillance cameras then captured the suspects at a gas station parking lot down the street from where the incident started.

When Dunay stopped at the light, the other driver came out of nowhere and attacked, he said.

"I turn, and that's when he punched me," Dunay said.

The suspect then ran, leaving Dunay bloody and with no question about the motive.

"The Trump sticker and the Trump banner. That's all what it's about," Dunay said.

Kenneth City police confirmed it was definitely a case of road rage. But was it politically motivated as Dunay claims?

"That may be the case or not the case," said Chief Kevin Riley of Kenneth City police. "We're still investigating that and it will be a part of our investigation. Again, we're focused on the battery that occurred and finding the suspect or suspects."

Dunay, a huge Trump supporter, has been to eight rallies and the inauguration.

He believes that people need to accept that Trump is the president.

"He's our president," he said. "We got to get over it. You can change your mind in four years."
I think this one actually got posted in GBS or C-SPAM or somewhere when it happened.

HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A 35-year-old Florida woman was arrested after deputies say she tried to use a blow torch to burn down her former residence.

A witness told police her house was on fire and that Monica Gluck, 35, was spotted leaving it holding a blow torch, according to WFLA. The witness recognized the woman because she currently lived in Gluck’s former home and had interacted with her before, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.

Law enforcement officials later located Gluck, and she told them that she wanted to burn down house because “bad things” occurred there.

She was arrested on charges of arson to a dwelling and burglary to a dwelling.

Her bond was set at $20,000, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.

A Florida woman faces an aggravated assault charge after authorities say she passed gas in line at a dollar store and pulled a knife on a man who complained about it.

Citing a Broward Sheriff’s Office report, the Miami Herald reports 37-year-old Shanetta Yvette Wilson passed gas while waiting in line at a Dollar General Sunday night and upset a nearby customer. The report says the offended customer and Wilson then got into an argument “in reference to the defendant farting loudly.”

It says Wilson then pulled a small folding knife out of her purse and told the victim she was going to “gut” him while moving as if to attack him. Wilson was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

It’s unclear if she has a lawyer

quote:

A Polk County, Florida woman was arrested earlier this month after she reportedly brought "her meth" with her to a doctor's office to have it tested.

Barbara Ray, 73, of Polk County, told the staff at the doctor's office that she had been taking meth for about a month, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. She said she brought the drugs with her so that she and "her meth" could be tested to make sure all was well.

The Sheriff's Office was called and a deputy responded to the office. The deputy tested the drugs and found it was in fact methamphetamine.

Ray was arrested on November 5. She was charged with 2 counts of Possession of Methamphetamine, and 2 counts of Possession of Narcotic Paraphernalia. She was booked into the Polk County Jail on Monday, November 5, 2018 and released on Wednesday, November 7, 2018.

quote:

A Florida woman was arrested Thursday morning after she entered the courthouse with methamphetamine in her pocket, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.

FCSO Deputy Vince Schrider said Tessa B. Lilly, 25, entered the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center and was about to walk through the metal detector when he noticed something in her pocket.

According to the report, Schrider asked Lilly to empty her pockets. When she pulled out a plastic baggie, she said it was makeup used for skin treatment, the report states, but Schrider thought the substance might be narcotics. Detectives tested the substance and it tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed 1.44 grams, according to the FCSO.

"She came to court with meth in her pocket?" Sheriff Rick Staly said in a media release. "Our security system at the courthouse worked. She obviously needs help and has not learned from her past mistakes. I hope this is a wake-up call to turn her life around and seek treatment for her addiction."

Lilly was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and held on a $30,000 bail.

quote:

A Florida woman was arrested for alleged drunken driving - on a horse, the Orlando Sentinel reported Friday (Nov. 3).

Polk County sheriff's deputies arrested Donna Byrne, 53, after a caller reported seeing a woman appearing confused and riding a horse on a road Thursday in the central Florida town of Lakeland, the report said.

Byrne, of Lakeland, smelled of alcohol, staggered and had red watery eyes when deputies pulled her over, authorities told the Sentinel.

A sheriff's office spokesman said the woman's breath alcohol level was more than two times the legal limit, according to the story. Byrne also was booked with animal neglect.

The horse, named Boduke, was hitched to a deputy's patrol car and ate grass until being taken to the Polk County Sheriff's Animal Control livestock facility, the report said.
