May 11 – Florida Man Purposely Crashes His Ferrari 360 into Atlantic Ocean At Top Speed

When you read of a Florida man crashing a Ferrari 360 into the Atlantic Ocean, you learn that people really have expensive thoughts. That a man would think to test run a car worth between $50,000 and $200,000 into the vast ocean, without caring about the possible effects?

And if you’re blaming drug influence, the man was reportedly sober at the time of the high-speed ocean crash.

James A. Mucciaccio Jr. from Deerfield Beach might have really had faith in his car’s horsepower count to think of launching it through the ocean. The man was quite a distance from the ocean in the Palm Beach Inlet when he jetted the car into the ocean. The man woke up early on a day after Christmas, as ported by WPTV 5, to execute his oceanic crash at 7 a.m.

The flying vehicle landed on the ocean surface and started submerging after floating across a 50ft distance. Mucciaccio, upon noticing the car was going down, was quick to alight it. After a few moments, the vehicle reached the ocean floor which was roughly 30 feet. Thankfully, the man evaded drowning and reunited with his submerged car less than 24 hours later, per the local media. Divers came to the rescue, inflated the car’s airbags, and pulled it out of the ocean.

The man’s actions of catapulting the vehicle off the dock after propelling it on land at top speed were not under any drug influence, as indicated in the crash report. Instead, Mucciaccio did it intentionally, reasons for which were not revealed.

Code 3 Divers who retrieved the car from the ocean floor shared on FaceBook photos and videos of the recovery, whose audience mostly expressed their frustration at learning an expensive car would be destroyed just like that.

May 11 – Florida Man Pulls Out Three Syringes From His Rectum and Tells Cops They Aren’t His

This has got to be the strangest Florida Man news yet! First off, how do you fit not one but three syringes into your rectum? Or how does someone else do it without your knowledge, as one jailed Floridian claimed?

Cops were carrying out an early morning strip search at the Pinellas County Jail when they discovered Wesley Scott’s three syringes. The cops requested the inmate to pull out the syringes, asking why he had tried burying them there. However, Scott feigned ignorance, claiming neither were they his nor did he know how they ended up there.

The man had been arrested and jailed over drug possession. Could this be a sign that drugs infiltrate jails?

Scott could not tell on himself, probably saving a few others who might have been involved in the case. While that somehow saved him from more serious charges, it shows that the legal system still has a long way to go. Who knows? Scott and probably his acquaintances might have been working with some prison guards to get such things into the correction facility.

Speaking of that, a Florida judge left prison officers without bond after they were charged over the death of an inmate. The inmate was held in a mental health correctional facility when he was being transferred to another facility. The three prison officers faced multiple charges over the case, including aggravated battery of a disabled adult, conspiracy, cruel treatment of a detainee, etc. The murdered 60-year-old was being held in a mental health prison for life after committing a first-degree murder.

The three prison officers killed him for throwing urine at one of them. A surveillance camera capturing the incident showed one of the cops tell the man he’d see what he gets for throwing at them urine.
