FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED FOR DRUNKENLY TRYING TO ADOPT A PELICAN FROM THE BOAT RAMP AS A ROOMMATE
FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED FOR DRUNKENLY TRYING TO ADOPT A PELICAN FROM THE BOAT RAMP AS A ROOMMATE Wesley Boone said the bird already met his requirements: quiet, comfortable around seafood and unlikely to borrow his truck. Wesley, 33, had been drinking near a boat ramp in Stuart, Florida, when a pelican approached a bucket of fish. He decided the visit was the beginning of a friendship and started explaining the spare bedroom. The pelican remained interested in the bucket. Wesley took that as a positive response to the lease terms. He announced to nearby boaters that he was adopting it and asked whether anybody had a spare carrier. One man told him to leave the bird alone. Wesley replied that he was offering affordable housing and did not appreciate competition from somebody with a boat. The scene turned into a problem when he followed the pelican along the dock and tried to prevent it from leaving. People moving equipment had to stop, and a worker called for help after Wesley ignored repeated requests to back away. His arrest followed a confrontation with the worker. The bird remained unharmed and eventually flew off, ending the roommate interview without discussing utilities. Wesley's actual roommate arrived and heard the proposed arrangement with considerable interest. He asked whether the pelican would also leave fish in the sink and claim it was somebody else's turn to clean. Wesley said the bird had seemed more appreciative. His roommate pointed out that it had taken the available food and departed at the first opportunity, making them considerably more alike than Wesley realized. Would you trust a friend to recognize when an animal wants food rather than friendship? Images and full story copyrighted TBC Viral Media 2026. #funny #comedy #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
