Matthew Leatham embraces his Florida pride. He really, really, really embraces his Florida pride. Leatham boasts his pride for the Sunshine State by getting a tattoo of the state of Florida on his forehead. Hope he doesn’t get transferred out-of-state for his job.
This is peak Florida man.

If Florida was a video game, this would be the final boss.
The 22-year-old Florida man called 911 twice to request a ride home, unfortunately for Leatham, police would oblige. Leatham called 911 at 4:20 a.m. to attempt to get a free ride home, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
Police responded to the 911 call, showing up in Port Richey, a suburb 40 miles northwest of Tampa. Police officers offered to call a taxi cab for Leatham, but he declined because he didn’t have any money. Poor kid was just asking “flo a rida.”
Authorities claim that he “wandered down the road and once again tried to use 911 as a free taxi service.”
A Pasco County deputy searched him and found a small amount of marijuana, according to the complaint. Leatham was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors: misuse of 911 and possession of marijuana, according to Pasco County jail records. He was released on Monday night after posting a $300 bond.
Florida man, you’re so damn precious, please don’t ever, ever, ever change.
