Florida Man Tries to Flee Deputies on a Riding Lawn Mower

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

I feel like this is the kind of thing that happens a couple of times a week in Florida. Just saying...

Speaking of Tim Allen ...

Notice how he has nothing to do with the perverted remake of Tom Story.

Tim Allen is one classy patriot.

Jeez, I’m WAY older than that guy and I can run faster than a riding lawnmower. Even holding a revolver, a handcuff key, and a meth pipe. (Maybe it was a treasure hunt gone wrong!)

(I’m guessing no one knows what a “treasure hunt” is these days, when it would be potential suicide to go to some random neighbor’s house and start asking him for things.)

Why would anyone take meth before mowing the lawn?

In fact why would anyone do any drug before getting on lawn mower?

Those things will remove fingers and toes for fun.

If you must drug and mow use a push mower and end the day with all your digits intact and attached.

He should have tried shifting from “thatch” into “mulch”.

Especially if he drove with both hands on the steering levers.

Hey, in San Diego a guy stole a tank.

Hey, in Seattle a guy stole an airplane.

Hey, in Port Sulphur a guy stole a shimp boat.

Hey, in Palo Alto a guy stole a Ferrari. And cut it in half.

Yes, he survived.

It’s not just Florida man.

Yeah, he needs to take the governor off, add some turbo-charging and fuel injection.

That tractor would really fly!
