      I’ll admit, this one’s a pretty unique Florida Man.

        Just when you think it couldn’t get any weirder, Florida Man proves you wrong.

      Interestingly, “Florida Man” news stories are largely the result of a law called the Government in the Sunshine Act. The Surprising Truth About FLORIDA MAN!

        Don’t sell us so short, we’re not the only state with Sunshine Laws. For example, have you ever heard of Missouri Man?

    I want to know where exactly on the books it says this specific act is illegal.

      They charged him with indecent exposure. There’s not a “defecation on a deceased marsupial with the intent to disrupt traffic” statute.

      It’s only illegal in Florida during rush hour. When traffic isn’t so congested, lots of people are doing this and it’s hardly headline material.

      That’s not how the law works, silly. They just arrest the guy and then find something to charge him with.

        The possum was looking so lonely in its death so the Florida Man just wanted to give it a gift.

    Seriously tho, where’s the story about a florida man trying to poop on a live possum, that would be something.

      A lot of possums play dead and are not really dead. This is one way you can test whether or not a possum is dead.

        You simply cannot argue with that logic.

    Getting arrested for acting crazy in the epicenter of Scientology is kind of an achievement.

    That can’t possibly be…

    Yep. It’s the actual, unedited headline. This one ought to win some kind of award.

    What did he get arrested for though? Was pooping in public thr part that was illegal or is doing it on a dead possum considered animal abuse?

      The last line of the article is

      He was charged with exposure of sexual organs and booked at the Pinellas County Jail.
