Florida Man’s Wardrobe Choice Is A Little Too Perfect
When you were younger, did Mom always tell you to wear clean underwear, “in case you get into an accident?” We’re not exactly sure of the logic behind that, but…
When you were younger, did Mom always tell you to wear clean underwear, "in case you get into an accident?"
We're not exactly sure of the logic behind that, but we're thinking that in today's episode of FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN! Mom should have rethought her wardrobe advice to her son.
DATELINE - Ocala and the saga of Florida Man James Rix Jr.
He was driving an orange pickup truck barreling past a patrol car that was doing a radar stop. So the incident caught on dash cam radar, confirming the vehicle that Rix was driving, doing 89 in a 45 miles an hour zone.
The deputy, he activated his emergency lights and a siren because he wanted Rix to pull over. Well, Rix fled from the deputy and then turned the lights off on his truck. Maybe he thought that would make the truck invisible. I don't know.
It didn't work. The deputy caught up to him. Body camera video shows deputies conducted a DUI traffic stop on Rix.
Deputy said he could smell alcohol on Rix' breath, that he was unsteady on his feet. The sheriff's office said Rix failed his field sobriety exercises.
They placed him under arrest. Deputies say Rix went from cooperative and in a good mood to verbally aggressive. He was transported to the Marion County Jail, where he provided breath samples almost three times over the legal limit.
Rix charged with DUI and fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer. He also received traffic citations for unlawful speed and possession of an open container in a vehicle.
Oh, but wait. There's more, as there always is with Florida Man, because when they arrested him for the DUI, Rix was wearing a shirt that said, "I'm the reason the beer's always gone."

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.
