Florida Man Breaks INTO Jail to Hang Out with Friends, Gets His Wish
The reverse-escape artist achieved his goal and is now legally allowed to stay.
# The Reverse Shawshank
In a stunning display of loyalty (or confusion), a Florida Man was arrested after crashing his car into the perimeter fence of the county jail and scaling a wall to get *inside*.
Why? He reportedly told deputies he "wanted to hang with the boys" who had been arrested the previous night.
## Mission Accomplished
"You have to admire the commitment," stated the baffled Warden. "Most people try to leave. this guy treated it like a VIP club he wasn't on the list for."
The man was promptly arrested for trespassing and destruction of property, which ironically granted him access to the very facility he was trying to enter.
## 5-Star Review
He is currently being held in a cell adjacent to his friends. Task failed successfully.
*Satire Disclosure: A man actually did this in Indian River County.*
