EMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida man dressed in an Easter Bunny costume was arrested last Thursday after he attempted to evade deputies following a hit-and-run crash in Seminole County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
A trooper was dispatched to a traffic crash involving a motorcycle, officials said.
Investigators said the driver failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a carport, which collapsed on a vehicle in the driveway.

A Seminole County Sheriff’s Office deputy and a trooper said they went to the driver’s address and saw a gray Nissan Rouge exit the driveway and travel down Terry Drive.
Troopers said they conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and found the motorcycle driver lying in the back seat of the car wearing an Easter Bunny costume.
The man appeared to be alive and was taken out of the car with some assistance, troopers said.
Troopers identified the man as Antoine Tyrkee McDonald. They said he was attempting to evade arrest with the assistance of the driver and passenger of the Nissan Rouge.
The Easter Bunny costume was removed for safety reasons and McDonald was placed under arrest, troopers said.
McDonald was sent a hospital due to injuries he suffered in the crash, officials said. He was later transported to the Seminole County Jail.
McDonald was also the man who wore an Easter Bunny costume during a fight in downtown Orlando last April.

Hare raising experience.
What’s with an Easter bunny costume in January? Lent hasn’t even started yet.
>>>Troopers identified the man as Antoine Tyrkee McDonald.<<<
Old MacDonald had a farm? This is all very confusing.
He gets extra points. How often do you see a chocolate Easter Bunny hop on a motorcycle. You can carry more baskets I suppose. Double bonus points because he falls under the legendary Florida Man rules
I DON’T THINK THIS GUY HAS ALL HIS EGGS IN ONE BASKET.
“The Easter Bunny costume was removed for safety reasons”
The whole story is a hoot, but that sentence tops all.
Funny yoke you cracked.
he does have something of a TYRKEE look about him.

wonder what his mother has to say about this accomplishment
just getting a head start on stashing his easter eggs...
This is in my ‘hood. And his middle name is Tyrkee?
Turkey?
So dumb...
Maybe he figured if he DECLARED himself a bunny, he would increase his sexual prowess...
‘Remember’ the old ‘.... like a rabbit’ etc etc etc
With a gobble gobble here and a gobble gobble there.
We need to be careful what we say as we don’t want to hurt his self esteem.How many baskets and eggs were found anyway?
How many baskets and eggs were found anyway?

I understand his ‘playmate’ declares himself a chicken and is supplying the eggs.
Maybe there IS something to this declaring....s/s/s
Wow. He looks like he has two functional brain cells, and each one is currently busy keeping those eyebrows arched.
