Florida Man Birthday November 13
Florida man dressed as a cartoon character stopped by police for allegedly driving a fictional car
The event took place in Wesley Chapel, which was named the unincorporated census-designated place. A Florida man dressed similarly to the fictional character Fred Flintstone, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. He also designed his car to resemble the stone age cars from the Flintstone cartoon.
This is how Florida’s Don Swartz hit the road. He began to wander around Wesley Chapel to the bewildered stares of the people. From the outside, his car looked like a foot-driven stone age car. But this was just a kind of ornament. Because the car was no different from ordinary cars.
Shortly after, he pulled over at the first traffic stop. He received a warning from law enforcement that he could not get into traffic in this way. The deputy sheriffs of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office were surprised at first but later had to take legal action against the man.
Sheriff’s deputies realized that the car Swartz was driving was a smart car. The car was decorated like the stone age cars from the Flintstone cartoon. Also, Swartz preferred to drive barefoot. Sheriff’s deputies took legal action and detained Swartz for speeding.
Swartz was imprisoned for a very short time. He was then released with a warning. After this event, Don Swartz became known as the famous fictional character Fred Flintstone. The sheriff’s office stated that the deputy sheriffs did not take any action against the rules and they were just trying to apply the rules.
