Bizarre Florida Man Armed with Rubber Snakes Crashes Into Jail

Author Budman

Now this is one bizarre Florida man. Imagine you’re working and minding your own business, when, out of nowhere, a car crashes into your office! That’s what happened at the Martin County Jail. And who’s behind the wheel? None other than a VERY bizarre Florida man, 40-year-old Joseph Leedy. This guy wasn’t just driving through the doors of the jail… According to FOX13, he did it in a woman’s blouse with no pants!

But the bizarre Florida man didn’t stop there. After Leedy crashes into the jail, things get even weirder. He steps out of his car, without pants, and decides the lobby floor could use some motor oil. Why? Because he wants to set it on fire. Just another Monday, right? As if that’s not enough, he starts yelling about wanting to kill everyone and throws rubber snakes around like he’s Moses before the Pharaoh.

Now, this guy clearly has a screw loose, and he manages to cause thousands of dollars in damage. But fortunately, those steel doors keep him from getting any deeper into the jail. And good news, no one was hanging out in the lobby when he decided to make his grand entrance.

So what happened next to the bizarre Florida man? Well, the deputies, who probably didn’t have “wrangle a pants-less man covered in motor oil” on their to-do list, managed to restrain Leedy. They take him to the hospital, but he’s not interested in cooperating. Eventually, they bring him back to the jail, and now, instead of just visiting, he’s staying for a while. He’s booked on four counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and criminal mischief over $1,000.

Just another day for Florida law enforcement, huh? Leedy’s got himself a new home, and the Martin County Jail’s got a tale of the bizarre that they’ll be telling for years to come. So if you ever think you’re having a crazy day, just remember Joseph Leedy and his pant-less, rubber snake-throwing incident. It could always be weirder.

Florida Man Wearing Only A Loincloth And Socks Smashed Into Several Vehicles And Tried To Outrun A Helicopter Before Crashing Into The Flagler County Landfill

I understand the headline is quite lengthy, but it was needed to really tell the story. 22-year-old Stephen Peterson of Port Orange and 20-year-old Victoria Averill had quite an adventure before it all ended at the Flagler County Landfill.

It all started on June 21st in Flagler Beach, Florida when our Florida Man and his accomplice drove through the intersection of State Road 100 East and Old Kings Road South and strike multiple vehicles. That’s just off I95 near the Popeye’s. The SUV then continued south on Old Kings Road at a high rate of speed. The incident was spotted by a  MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife officer who then attempted to stop the vehicle. The FWC officer activated his emergency lights and siren but the vehicle did not stop. Does the FWC even have authority to pull over vehicles? I’m not sure. Anyway…

Then, according to Flagler County Sheriff “The vehicle entered the property of Old Kings Elementary School and drove around the running track before exiting the school and continuing to flee down Old Kings Road. The vehicle then entered the Flagler County Landfill and into the wooded area between the landfill and I-95.” And that’s where things went wrong.

Flagler County Fire Rescue Fireflight, which is the fire department’s helicopter, monitored the vehicle’s location and directed deputies to the vehicles location. The vehicle had run into and become stuck on a concrete barrier. This next line, sums it up nicely. “The male was naked except for a small covering wrapped around his waist and socks. It is unknown why the male was not wearing more clothing.”

  • Sounds insane? Here's the video.

  • So, what's the charges?

    From the FCSO “Peterson was arrested for Fleeing and Eluding, Leaving the Scene of a Crash with Damage to Vehicle or Property, Resisting an Officer without Violence, Trespassing on School Grounds, Possession of Marijuana Under 20 Grams, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia/Equipment. Averill was arrested for Trespassing on School Grounds, Possession of Marijuana Under 20 Grams, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia/Equipment. Peterson is being held on $19,500 bond and Averill is being held on $3,000 bond at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.”
