New Port Richey resident Jason Stoll had obtained a permit to close a street and sell hot dogs. When the permit expired at midnight, Stoll still had a few more dogs to sell, so he kept going. He hadn't got that "Hustle Eat Sleep Repeat" tattoo for nothing.
However, police officers were ready to open the road back up to normal traffic. They let Stoll know that it was time to pack up and go home, but Stoll was still hustling. When the officers insisted, Stoll threw a hotdog at them, striking one of the officer's uniform.
The police officers arrested Stoll and actually mustard up the courage to charge him with battery with a hotdog.
I'm sure Stoll will face a good grilling in the court hearing later, where he could face a minimum of three years if convicted.
It's a good thing Stoll didn't run, or the cops would have had to play ketchup, and the conviction could have been even longer, but still, serving time for hitting a cop with a hotdog would be the wurst.
Can I be frank with you all? I'm absolutely relishing the absurdity of this story.
Thanks for the laughs Florida man!
I’m surprised the officers had the gumption to file a felony charge of battery with a hot dog. Both the officer involved and the charged “Florida Man” will have a hard time living this down.
Time for common sense hot dog control.
Lucky he didn’t attack him with a banana.
Then, they eat the banana!
Felony charges for a hot dog?
(one website)
But burning cities?
No big deal.
Stupidity all around. I hope the prosecutor has enough sense to offer a plea deal for a minor misdemeanor.
S’pose he’s got a bunch!
Grapes 🍇!!!
He’s got grapes 🍇🍇🍇!!!
A thrown hot dog being a felony charge? Absolutely crazy.
“S’pose he’s got a bunch!”
Shut up!
They should throw the book at this guy.
Do you all know that this poor officer is now in for a career of weenies flying at his face jokes back at the station?
Officer Down, Office Down - Office hit with a wiener!
That is all.
A hot dog is hardly lethal, what’s the wurst that could happen?
The cops who arrested him on this excessive charge should be fired.
The author had as much fun writing this as we did reading it. 😂🤣
My favorite:
“The police officers arrested Stoll and actually mustard up the courage to charge him with battery with a hotdog.”
That guy is going to relish his time in jail.
Sounds like he’s gotten himself into a pickle.
