FLORIDA MAN, 39, ARRESTED AFTER RIDING A LAWNMOWER INTO A WENDY'S DRIVE-THRU AND ORDERING 14 FROSTYS "FOR THE BOYS BACK AT THE BOAT RAMP"
FLORIDA MAN, 39, ARRESTED AFTER RIDING A LAWNMOWER INTO A WENDY'S DRIVE-THRU AND ORDERING 14 FROSTYS "FOR THE BOYS BACK AT THE BOAT RAMP" He didn't take a car. He didn't take a truck. He fired up the old Craftsman, idled it out of his backyard, and pointed it straight at the glowing red square on the corner. ZEPHYRHILLS, FL — Jake Townsend, 39, told the drive-thru window worker he was "on a mission of mercy for some thirsty gentlemen." The gentlemen, according to investigators, were six fishing buddies waiting at the Hillsborough River boat ramp who had texted him the words "we need cold stuff, brother" twenty minutes earlier. Townsend, with no working vehicle and no Uber on the way, did what any reasonable Florida Man would do. He climbed on the mower. What investigators pieced together is already the top post in five Pasco County Facebook groups: - Townsend allegedly drove the Craftsman 4.2 miles down the shoulder of US-301 at a steady 6 mph, with a cooler bungee-corded to the rear deck and an empty Igloo cup wedged in the gas cap - He reportedly ordered 14 small chocolate Frostys, 3 large fries, and "one of those spicy sandwiches, ma'am, the boys will fight over it" - Witnesses say he paid with $47 in singles, a roll of quarters, and a Subway gift card that had eleven cents on it - The drive-thru worker, identified only as Brittani from the night shift, reportedly told a coworker "I have served a horse, a goat, and a man on a unicycle, but this one tipped me four dollars" - Townsend was caught only when the mower stalled in the parking lot exit, blocking a Toyota Camry, and the driver called the non-emergency line to ask "is this a crime or just a Tuesday" Sergeant Cleat Brennaman, a 27-year veteran of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, addressed reporters at the scene. "In twenty-seven years I have logged stolen scooters, stolen ATVs, and one man who rode a Roomba through a CVS. This is the first time I have processed a Craftsman riding mower as the lead suspect vehicle in a Frosty run. I am going home." He didn't forget the boys. He just gave the boat ramp the coldest delivery of the summer. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire
