Florida Man and His Banana Costume Try To Split From the Cops

Author Jim Monaghan

Nothing says “Halloween In Florida” quite like Florida Man dressed in a banana costume trying to split from the cops.

FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!

DATELINE – Key West and the Saga of Florida Man Kyle Mortimer.

Mortimer is actually a student at the University of Miami. Well, he was caught relieving himself on the side of a building right across from a row of porta pottys in Key West.

He was dressed in a banana costume. I guess the celebration was real. Mortimer immediately fled toward Duval Street after a police officer identified himself. There’s more than 40 bars in this area. I would imagine that Mortimer had been at least one, if not more.

So, imagine the scene – a police officer chasing a guy in Key West who’s wearing a banana costume.

Mortimer, in costume, zigzagging to prevent capture when a second police officer grabbed him by the peel.

Mortimer then twisted and pulled away before the first police officer used a leg sweep to knock him to the ground. That’s when Mortimer interlaced his fingers, holding them tightly together in an effort to prevent the police officers from handcuffing him.

Well, this happened a couple of days ago, early in the morning, in front of the Smokin’ Tuna Saloon.

Mortimer, in his banana costume, walked by police to nearby Old City Hall, where he was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, both of which are demeanors.

He’s free on bond, scheduled for arraignment in a couple of weeks. The mug shot?  Priceless.  Because he was still in the banana costume.

Top 5 “Florida Man Strikes Again” Stories For October 2023

We have to admit, it was kind of hard to pick our top five “Florida Man Strikes Again” stories for the month of October because there was just so many good ones to choose from.

We had stolen vehicles, drugs (LOTS of drugs), a return from the dead that was harder than Florida Man certainly would have wanted to be, a return to the scene of the crime, and we couldn’t leave out a bad movie choice by a teacher for his students.

Choosing only five meant leaving some real gems behind.
