Florida Man Arrested While Trying To Conceal A Stolen Semi Truck By Spray Painting It A Different Color Like On GTA V
ESPN Southwest Florida ^ | February 1, 2023 | Joe Winner

Why can’t a Florida Man find a Pay n’ Spray when he needs one? Reinier Lazaro Perez and Dayanly Cutino Gonzalez were spotted behind the Days Inn in Palm Coast Florida. They were spray painting a Peterbilt semi-tractor in the back corner of the parking lot. The hotel is located just off I95, we’ll get back to that. Someone (who obviously can’t mind they own business) thought that someone spray painting a semi truck in the parking lot of a hotel was suspicious. So they called the cops. When Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived the two dropped the cans took off running along Southbound I95. That’s your escape plan?

Dayanly clearly hadn’t been doing her cardio and was quickly captured. Reinier managed to hide in the woods for about 2 hours before they found him.

The Peterbilt semi-tractor had been stolen just hours earlier from Columbia County, Florida.

The recovered semi-tractor is valued at $280,000. The semi-tractor’s original color is pink (really). The pair were in the process of spray painting the stolen semi-tractor red to conceal its original color when deputies arrived. Makes sense. I’m actually impressed with how good their paint job was coming along. They even took the time to tape it off. The semi-tractor’s GPS had been disabled and removed but was found nearby in the woods.

The female subject, Dayanly Cutino Gonzalez, was placed under arrest. Her charges were Resisting Arrest Without Violence, Grand Theft – Motor Vehicle, and Felony Criminal Mischief. She was booked into the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. She’s out after posting $13,500 bond.

Florida Man Reinier Lazaro Perez, was placed under arrest for Resisting Arrest Without Violence, Grand Theft – Motor Vehicle, Felony Criminal Mischief, Possession of a Removed Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and Possession of Fentanyl. There’s that last one. Fentanyl. Seems like it’s not a Florida Man story without Fentanyl.

I was wondering what happened to Allie Sheedy.

Yup. $29.95 and they’d have been on their way. No ups, no extras.

Looks like she was arrested in a hair salon.

“Usually it is in a lake...”

I imagine sometimes the gators find ‘em before the cops do.

Looks like they were going for yardage: get a coat on the cab, then move on to the frame, which was going to take much longer, then continue to roll after dark.

Possibly was heading to part it out. Looks like a red oil pan, probably Paccar motor.

You made me spit my drink out due to a sudden fit of laughter.
The pink is just as ridiculous as duckies and bunnies.

Brilliant idea, steal the most stand out color truck on the road and then try to rattle-can it right beside the Interstate.

If it had been white, it would blend in with about 50% of the others on the road.
