A man in Florida allegedly set a sheriff’s patrol car on fire and told deputies that he was “intoxicated” at the time.
The incident happened just before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, which said that Anthony Thomas Tarduno admitted to setting the patrol car on fire.
Tarduno told detectives that he was drinking at a bar in Spring Gill, Florida and walked out shortly before 4:30 p.m. When he was walking, the man saw a patrol vehicle “and decided he’d like to set it on fire,” the sheriff’s office said.
The man got a bag of garbage from a dumpster, placed it under the patrol car, and lit the trash on fire, officials said.
After allegedly setting the patrol car on fire, the sheriff’s office said that Tarduno went back to the bar, but later returned to the crime scene to confess because he “felt bad.”
Deputies said that when Tarduno explained his actions, he told detectives that he was “intoxicated” at the time and does “stupid things” when he’s drunk.

I guess he narrowed it down.
I guess he narrowed it down.
Not guilty due to drunkenness and belligerence.
Oh, alright, I guess it’s OK then...
....not just Florida Man.
I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I think felonious criminality ranks a few degrees above “stupid stuff.”
“Spring Gill”? I think not.
Well, maybe you need to stop drinking then. If you keep on doing the ‘stupid stuff’, it’s just a matter of time before
you wake up dead, if youknowwhatI’msayin’.
There isn’t much in the way of being smart when it comes to getting drunk.
Just another 'Florida man' story. A few minutes some posted a story about a Florida man 'screwing a dog'.
I've been drunk and done stupid things, but...WOW.
There is no "Spring Gill", LOL.

Thats one hell of a defense. Please update us if he is successful!
Not quite he’s blaming the booze for his actions the booze is his nerve medicine to do so.
