Florida Man’s White Board Message Trick Completely Fails To Fool Police
While attempting to elude police, Florida Man had an idea to send the police a message on a white board to fool them as to his whereabouts.
You’ll be shocked to learn the trick didn’t work.
FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DATELINE – Lakeland, Florida, and the Saga of Florida Man Johnny Yates.
He was trying to evade deputies. They were looking to arrest him for aggravated battery.
Well, they got a tip that he was at a home on West 10th street in Lakeland. But when they got there, they found a big whiteboard you would use with a dry erase marker. You may have one at home, you may have one at work. We have one here in the studio with details on various different things that are going on.
Well, when the officers got to the home on west 10th street, the whiteboard said, “Johnny Yates does NOT live here.”
“Not” was in capital letters and underlined.
Well, Johnny, if you say so, must be true, right? I mean, it seems legit.
Well, the deputies didn’t think so. The sheriff’s office said deputies saw a person leaving the house who told oh, yeah, yeah, Johnny’s in there along with three other people.
The deputies used a loudspeaker to command Yates to leave the home. After about an hour, when that didn’t work, they used smoke to try to get the occupants out.
When that still didn’t get a response, the deputies used a K-9 to search the home. The dog sniffed out Yates, who was hiding in what deputies called “a modified chest of drawers.”
Between the chest of drawers and the whiteboard sign….
Anyway, Yates and four other people who did not cooperate were arrested in the incident. I have no idea.
Maybe they should have put on there “Johnny Yates does NOT live here, and neither do we.”
