A Florida man who evaded deputies earlier this year by escaping into a swamp was caught on Saturday after he tried to outrun law enforcement on a riding lawnmower, authorities said.

Dusty Mobley, 40, was located around 9:30 a.m. at a home on Pasco Broxson Circle in Holt, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said. He was wanted on warrants related to the theft of a $40,000 boat in January.

When Mobley spotted the deputies, the sheriff’s office said he switched a John Deere riding lawnmower "into high gear" and tried to flee the scene. Mobley was quickly apprehended after pursuing deputies tased him.

Mobley was taken into custody and found in possession of a revolver, a handcuff key and a pipe with suspected methamphetamine residue, deputies said.

Sometimes you’ve just gotta work with what you’ve got. A for effort, Florida Man.

Why didn’t they clip the bumper so he would spin out into the median?

Too bad for him the Po-Po weren’t driving Teslas. They can’t last more than a couple of miles in a high-speed chase.

If he’d bothered to jettison the clippings bag, he’d have had a real shot. /jk
