FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED AFTER TRYING TO PAY A TRAFFIC TICKET WITH CHUCK E. CHEESE TICKETS ORANGE HOLLOW, FL — Sean Prendergast, 41, was arrested Thursday after courthouse staff say he attempted to pay a $240 traffic citation using 24,000 arcade prize tickets he carried into the clerk's office in three trash bags. Employees say he waited 40 minutes in line, reached the window, and began feeding the tickets under the glass in handfuls. Court staff describe an unusually prepared argument: He had counted the tickets himself and presented a handwritten total on notebook paper He argued the tickets were "a redeemable currency" with a posted exchange rate He offered to accept a $10 processing fee for the inconvenience of counting He asked whether the courthouse had a prize counter or "someone who handles redemption" He had brought a fourth bag in the car "in case they wanted a cushion" He requested a written receipt confirming the tickets had been surrendered People waiting in line reportedly stopped filling out their forms entirely as the arcade tickets began spilling across the counter and onto the floor. "He was completely calm. He genuinely believed this would work," said court clerk supervisor Yolanda Mercer, a 21-year veteran of the county. "It took us twenty minutes just to get the bags off the floor." The third trash bag, still roughly half full, declined to comment. He spent months earning all those tickets. The county still wanted $240 instead. Images and full story copyrighted TBC Viral Media 2026. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
