Florida authorities reported they found a man with drugs who denied the illicit material belonged to him.
However, that became difficult to believe since the drugs were found wrapped around his genitalia.
Where else could this happen but Florida?
\u201cThe deputies searched Florence and found bags of methamphetamines and cocaine wrapped around Florence's penis. Florence was arrested and the report said he "stated the package wrapped around his penis was not his." 2/2— Rex Chapman\ud83c\udfc7\ud83c\udffc (@Rex Chapman\ud83c\udfc7\ud83c\udffc) 1640282085

WUT? This story is very hard to swall.... nevermind.— OscaR\ud83c\udfb8 (@OscaR\ud83c\udfb8) 1640282735
Last week, WFLA in Florida reported a man from Clearwater was riding in a car that was pulled over for a traffic stop. The vehicle was driving without its lights on.
The driver was arrested for DUI and possession of marijuana, but it was the search of the passenger that led to the new “Florida Man” headline.
The man identified as Patrick Florence, 34, was sitting on a seat that had a gun underneath. This led to a deeper search that found a package of drugs on his penis.
When asked about it, Florence claimed the drugs weren’t his.
Then whose were they?
Not sure if impressed with the effort or disgusted.https://twitter.com/ap_oddities/status/1473711216203911172\u00a0\u2026— Full of Frap (@Full of Frap) 1640268546

I've never had so many questions combined with so little desire to know the answers— Erika With a K \ud83d\udd4e (@Erika With a K \ud83d\udd4e) 1640298157
I worked in an X-Ray dept. I can tell you the places people put drugs can get pretty creative!— BCA (@BCA) 1640195797
The report doesn’t clarify Florence’s explanation for the drugs, but little happens in Florida with an explanation.
Maybe Florence will provide an explanation at trial.
It's a high traffic area, anyone could have put that there!— KennyBlankenship (@KennyBlankenship) 1640563642
Fell and tripped and didn't know he had landed on a bag of drugs that probably had static cling and just stayed on him. Obviously.— Hockstedlers (@Hockstedlers) 1640282471
I slipped and fell into the drugs— (((Jared Rube)))\ud83c\udf69 (@(((Jared Rube)))\ud83c\udf69) 1640196080

Florence has been charged with four felonies: possession of cocaine, methamphetamine, firearm, and ammunition.
This isn’t a first, as Florence has been arrested more than a dozen times by the county sheriffs, with most charges involving cocaine.
