Everyone heard about Robert Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice’s recent arrest for property theft. In the Icy one’s honor, we’ve assembled just a few of the weirder recent Flori-duh arrests.Ralitsa Ivanoca, the “sexiest Bulgarian alive” (is that, like, a government-issued title?) was arrested in Land O’ Lakes for DUI. The bigger question: What the H was she doing in Land O’ Lakes? (Answer: She got lost while driving from Tampa to St. Pete.)Naked, Amie Carter wandered into traffic in Orlando’s Fairview Shores, stopped someone’s Lexus, rubbed one out in front of them and then jumped on the hood. Police say Carter was in “an altered mental state,” which, duh.New England Patriots superfan Victor Thompson, who has a replica of Tom Brady’s helmet tattooed onto his own dome, was nabbed for buying synthetic pot in 2014. He missed a Jan. 7 court date and is now a wanted man, but probably a happy one, after this year’s Super Bowl.Remember good old Alisha Jasmine Hessler, aka Jasmine Tridevil, from 2014? Well, she’s still bringing us joy, after racking up a DUI arrest in January of this year. Good one. Or should we say three.Early this month, Larry Leroy Floyd was arrested in Ocala for attempting to circumcise his nephew. Worst. Baby-sitter. Ever.Hal “The Haligator” Kreitman, aka the Alligator Whisperer, was arrested at the end of 2014, but anyone who makes a habit of petting gators deserves our continued respect/amazement.Robert Michael Phillips made a West Palm Beach cop’s job very easy – when picked up after cutting off a police cruiser in a stolen car and asked his occupation, he answered, “Drug dealer.”Sweet little old Marilyn Hartman can’t stop, won’t stop. The “serial stowaway” was arrested this month after flying from Minneapolis to Jacksonville sans ticket, at least the third time she’s managed to outfox the TSA.An oldie (November 2014) but a goodie: Sadface Gabriel Harris was arrested in Daytona last year for trying to order food in the Taco Bell drive-through on his bike, then “scuffling” with police who arrived when he wouldn’t drop the chalupa quest. His mugshot is like a 🙁 in human form.Still on the loose! The “BBQ Bandit” made off with ribs, chicken, oil, baked beans, pork and beans, sausage, shrimp, barbecue sauce, computers and a cash register, despite locked doors and an armed alarm system at Jerome Brown’s BBQ and Wings in Jacksonville. That’s $4,000 worth of good times, gone.
