Florida Job Interview Turns into a High-Speed Stolen Car Chase

Author Budman

Sometimes life is a comedy that writes itself. Like Jacob Thompson, a 23-year-old from Winter Haven. His Florida Job Interview turned into a high-speed car chase in Stolen Car.

According to Fox35, it all started on October 6. That’s when Thompson, decided to liberate a Cadillac SUV from a Pilot Travel Center. Little did he know that the universe had other plans in store for him.

As if the universe had a mischievous sense of humor, the stolen Cadillac was equipped with OnStar, a modern guardian angel for vehicles. The moment Thompson hotwired his newfound chariot, the clock started ticking on his impending doom. He wasn’t about to get very far. OnStar was on his tail faster than you can say “Grand Theft Auto.”

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Jacob Thompson, in all his faulty wisdom, had an upcoming job interview at the very same Pilot store he stole the car from. THE SAME DAMN GAS STATION. Can we say employee of the month?!

Florida Job Interview Gone Bad:

With the stolen vehicle, Thompson embarked on a wild and reckless journey that would put even put some video game car chases to shame. Polk County deputies were on his tail, and a chase ensued. Thompson pushed the Cadillac to its limits, hitting speeds of up to 100 mph. But the universe, still amused by this stupid turn of events, had a surprise in store.

OnStar, decided it was time to teach Thompson a lesson. They remotely shut off the Cadillac’s engine, and soon Thompson lost control. He crashed into a guardrail, and flipped the stolen ride.

Not one to back down, Thompson made a run for it, but deputies weren’t about to let him get away that easily. After a brief struggle, they had their man.

Jacob Thompson faces a whole bunch of felonies, and it turns out he was already on felony probation for burglary and assault. It’s safe to say his job interview didn’t quite go as planned. Oh Jacob… If you’re going to steal a car, don’t schedule a job interview at the scene of the crime, and definitely don’t mess with OnStar.

Florida Man Criminal Found Hiding In A North Fort Myers Attic With His Face Against The Air Duct To Breathe

Over the weekend the Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary in progress at a home on 4th Way in North Fort Myers. When the cops entered the house they could hear the Florida Man criminal walking in the attic. Also, they found a 5 gallon bucket on the floor under the attic access and insulation on the floor. This Florida man needs to work on his ninja stealth abilities. But he was resourceful in other ways.

The deputies yelled for him to come down out of the attic, but Florida Man did not respond. The cops put a non lethal gas canister into the attic to smoke him out. He buried himself in the insulation with his face against the air duct system to breathe fresh air. No go on the smoke.

So they had to go up there and get him. Keep in mind how hot it gets in a Florida attic. That’s when Florida Man Bruce Davis surrendered. Dude’s covered in itchy insulation and the cops are like “we should take his picture first”. I get it, this pic could make some solid memes.

What was he doing in the house? According to LCSO “A search of the home also revealed a broken window, appliances in use, and tools scattered throughout the residence. ” Appliances in use? Was he making a smoothie? Doing laundry?  This Florida Man criminal was charged with burglary and resisting an officer.
