Florida Man Road Rage – Flying Pasta
Road rage happens everywhere, but when Florida Man is involved you just KNOW it’s going to be a little different.
Here in New Jersey, if someone does something annoying or stupid while driving, we generally serve up the one-finger salute.
Florida Man?
That salute may include a plate of pasta flying through the window.
Florida Man Road Rage
DATELINE – Saint Petersburg and the Saga of Florida man Nolan Goins.
A little road rage incident, Al dente, Florida Man style.
It seems that Goins was driving the other day and he was dealing with some glaring headlights from another driver.
He got a little upset.
So as that other driver pulled up next to him and listen, I understand how upsetting that can be. It’s distracting. It’s annoying.
Well, Goins pulled up next to the other driver and threw a plate of spaghetti through the passenger window of his car at the driver in the other vehicle.
According to the police report, the other driver was struck in the arms, legs, and torso, and Nolan
also managed to get the spaghetti on himself.
Now, thankfully neither guy was seriously injured.
Maybe the pasta wasn’t cooked enough or was cooked too much. I don’t know. Either way, Goins was charged with battery booked into the county jail, and freed on a thousand dollars bond.
He’s a painting contractor, but he does have a prior rap sheet, which includes convictions for selling marijuana, obstruction, and battery a couple of times, as well as a multitude of traffic infractions.
I think this is the first time he’s been charged with throwing a plate of spaghetti at somebody while driving.
Before he was released on bond, you can imagine that conversation in jail.
“Hey tough guy, what are you in for?”
“Umm, I threw a plate of spaghetti at a guy while I was driving.”
