What the heck was this man trying to accomplish?
The dude just saw a fire truck and decided to steal it?? He had five different police, sheriff, and highway patrol agencies chasing him for hours across three counties but he wasn't going to let his dream of owning a fire engine die!
Miami Fire Rescue crews were conducting a training exercise in North Miami Beach at around 6:30 p.m. when one of their trucks drove off. Police identified the man inside as Lekambrick Hanna, 31, of Miami, NBC affiliate WPTV reports.
Imagine driving down the Florida Turnpike and seeing cops chasing a fire truck. Wild, man.
Thankfully, the perp gave up (I wonder if the beach traffic was just too much for him).
Hanna was booked for grand theft of an emergency vehicle and held in jail in Palm Beach on a $7,500 bond for his joyride.
Hanna did crash into one police vehicle but, miraculously, nobody was injured during the prolonged chase.
Diversity is our strength.
Just trying to comply with the naacp travel advisory and get outta FLA...ASAP
I did this once in GTA V.
It was one of the missions...

Nothing, just being Florida man is all
So relieved to find out it wasn’t my good friend Lekambrick Olsen. I was worried for a minute.
This in Miami? I’m rather shocked there weren’t five cars following right behind the fire truck just to get through red lights. (They do that in Miami.)
It was on the Turnpike...................
Well, in that case, why weren’t there five rice burners passing them all on the median?
Most disappointing.
This will definitely make Howie Carr’s Police Blotter Fax Friday, where Florida Man is a popular meme.
Dear Chief:
I hope this letter finds you well. No one was more surprised than I when the engine drove off without us in it.
Someone needs to write the lyrics for the Floridaman theme song. I suggest the Batman or Spiderman theme song for the score.
This guy could probably get an affirmative action hire on a Fire Department and drive a fire engine legally.

Some people can’t think that far ahead it’s all about now baby.
Florida man does keep us amused. However, this guy might actually do jail time unlike those in Portland, Oregon or Chicago, Illinois who do this or much worse.
Sounds like he had an excellent plan!!
Brilliant!!
👍
YOLO!!!
So why not steal a fire truck!!??
LOL 😂
