Maybe Florida Man Should Have Tried “The Devil Made Me Do It” Defense

Author Jim Monaghan

Florida Man offers a lot of different excuses for his antics. Next time, maybe he should try comedian Flip Wilson’s classic “the devil made me do it” defense.

FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!

DATELINE – Marion County and the Saga of Florida Man Hector Diaz.

There are a number of characters involved in this story, including Diaz’s sister, who called the police after she heard a noise outside her home.

When she looked outside the window, she saw her brother walking around her fiance’s car. At first, she didn’t think anything of it, but when her fiance woke up for work the next day, both of his side mirrors were broken and hanging from the car, according to deputies.

Deputies were at the home doing an investigation of the incident. Diaz appears again. He was taken into custody but still spoke with deputies. In a post-Miranda interview, he said that he went to his sister’s house in the first place to speak to his father because he was having bad dreams. He also said he was drunk at the time, and his wife drove him there.

I’m wondering if he shouldn’t have just used the Flip Wilson Defense.

“I didn’t want to buy this dress. The devil made me buy this.”

When Diaz was walking up to the front door, he said he bumped that was his word into his brother in law’s car. He knocked on the door, and when nobody answered, he walked back to the car and bumped into it again. It wasn’t until Diaz’s wife and father told him about the incident with the brother in law’s car that he realized that the vehicle was damaged.

Deputies say the driver’s side and passenger side mirrors were broken and hanging from the brother in law’s car. They added that the damage caused to the mirrors would have been from an excessive amount of force as they were separated and broken in half from the extended part of the vehicle. The damage is at least $1200.

Drunk, having a bad dream, or the devil?
