Florida Man Arrested While Trying To Get INTO A Police Car To Threaten Someone

Author Jim Monaghan

Florida Man Strikes Again!

DATELINE – Gainesville FL where Florida Man – with his own criminal history – would try to get INTO a police car so he could threaten someone.

There is a lot going on here. You may have to take notes.

A few days ago at the Come and Go convenience store in Gainesville, a 911 caller reported someone shooting at him in the store from a U-Haul van that was stopped at a nearby traffic light.

Well, of course, the cops respond to the situation. They find the U-Haul, they detain the driver, and they take the driver of the U-Haul, put him in a patrol car, no incident.

That is until the 911 caller, later identified as Florida Man Courtney Crosby, ran toward that patrol car and tried to open the door of it, allegedly, of course, yelling that he was going to kill the man inside.

When officers intervened and tried to handcuff Crosby, he allegedly, of course, physically resisted. Police were able to detain him shortly after, and they placed him smartly in a separate patrol vehicle. I don’t think you’d want these two guys next to each other.

So you’re following along here, right?

An on-the-scene investigation revealed that thed river of the U-Haul was in Bentley’s Upscale Nightclub when shots were fired there. When that happened, the driver got in the U-Haul and took off.

Meanwhile, at the time of that shooting – are you taking notes? Are you following along? – Crosby was at the Come and Go. Surveillance footage there showed Crosby leaving the store and allegedly firing a gun. Crosby’s car sustained bullet holes, and a firearm was found inside.

Well, you do a little background check on Mr. Crosby, and you find out that he’d been arrested twice back in 2010 for sale and delivery of cocaine, plus burglary of a dwelling structure or conveyance. That’s according to the arrest records.

So here’s a guy with a felony record on video surveillance footage firing a weapon, trying to get into a police vehicle to threaten to kill guy who’s in there. Me thinks there’s a little bit of history between these two characters.

  • Florida Man Probably Doesn’t Want To Be A Contestant On Sheriff Ivey’s Game Show

    Not only is this our favorite Florida Man story for July, it’s one of our favorites so far in 2023!

    Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is a no-nonsense kind of guy.

    He also has a pretty good sense of humor, as you can see from the Facebook page for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Anyone who can refer to himself and his fellow officers as “the Po-Po” sounds like a guy you might want to share a beer with.

    Well, it seems that Sheriff Ivey is the host of a new game show called Wheel of Fugitive and while he’s not above poking fun at himself, it’s also pretty obvious that he means business.

    And when Sheriff Ivey means business, it also means that Florida Man probably shouldn’t want to be a contestant.

  • The Fake ID Card Was Probably the Least of Problems For Florida Man

    Having a fake ID card isn’t all that unusual. You can pretty much ask any college student who may or may not have reached the legal drinking age yet.

    When it comes to Florida Man, the fake ID card he had was probably the least of his problems when police caught up with him.

    <strong>Florida Man Omar Feliciano</strong> somehow attracted the attention of deputies from Volusia County at the worst possible time.

    For one, he was holding 88 games of cocaine.

    But – as is often the case with Florida Man – wait, because there’s more.

  • Florida Woman Takes A Page From 50 Cent and Gets Arrested

    Florida Woman‘s aim was a bit off. Remember 50 Cent‘s attempt to throw out the first pitch at a Mets game a few years ago?

    Florida Woman Sarah Ann Kochera took a page from 50 Cent at Rick’s Reef restaurant when she got into an argument with someone (we think it was her boyfriend) and tossed a burrito at him, which resulted in her being arrested.

    She missed.

    And hit someone else.

    And now she’s under arrest.

  • Florida Man Will Never Get His Driver’s License With A Stunt Like This

    Florida Man Gary Lamar Miller will never get his Florida driver’s license if he keeps pulling a stunt like the one he tried a few days ago.

    Miller was clocked doing 117 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone on I-75 shortly after midnight a few days ago. With the police now in pursuit, Florida Man led them on a high-speed chase.

    Despite flashing lights and sirens, Miller refused to pull over and revved his Nissan SUV to more than 120 MPH before exiting the interstate highway and finally stopping his vehicle in front of a gated community.

    If the police were less than thrilled with Miller’s antics behind the wheel, you can imagine their reaction when he told one of the arresting officers that the high speed chase made him feel as if he were in the video game Grand Theft Auto.

    To top things off, Miller only had a learner’s permit to drive and was driving illegally.

  • Drag Racing Florida Man Is the Only One To Ever Shut Down A Bridge

    When Florida Man takes a road trip, he goes all out!

    When Graham Liberal, some kind of Florida Man social media star, arrived in the Steel City from the Sunshine State last week, it was with the intention of setting up some kind of car meet for his social media content.

    What ended up happening was a crowd of 300 people and around 50 cars gathering to shut down the Fort Pitt Bridge around 3 AM last Friday morning.
