Read full article: Nabbed for street racing, Florida man blasts โ€œBad Boysโ€

NAPLES, Fla. โ€“ Florida authorities say that when two young men were pulled over for street racing, one of the drivers blasted the song โ€œBad Boys,โ€ the opening theme to the TV show โ€œCops.โ€The Collier County Sheriff's Office said Oscar Llera Iturralde, 19, and Jose Ramirez-Sanchez, 20, were arrested and charged with racing on a public highway. A third man, Joel Aguilar Hernandez, 20, was charged with riding as a passenger in a race competition. The arrest report said he coordinated the race between the two vehicles. The sheriff's office says deputies saw the two cars drive past them when the passenger leaned out the window and yelled โ€œ20 roll on three,โ€ which deputies say stands for โ€œstart racing at 20 miles per hour.โ€The deputies followed the cars, which began speeding after a traffic light turned green, going as fast as 95 miles per hour (about 153 kph), well over the 55 mile-per-hour limit on that stretch. After the drivers were pulled over, deputies say the youngest man, Llera Iturralde, blasted โ€œBad Boysโ€ on his car stereo.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. โ€“ That darn wind is always causing trouble, especially for โ€œFlorida Man.โ€A man pulled over by police in Fort Pierce last month claimed the cocaine residue found inside a Budweiser can along with a crack pipe was blown there by the wind, according to News 6 sister station WPLG. Police noticed Joseph Zak, 37, appeared to be trying to discard an item when he was stopped for failing to pause at a stop sign, The Smoking Gun reports. When cops asked Zak about the white residue inside the can which eventually tested positive for crack cocaine, he told them "the police or the wind must have placed it there." Zak was arrested and jailed.
