Is it just me or does it seem like the smoking gun regularly features Floridians?  What's going on down there  ???

QuoteA man is behind bars after allegedly striking his roommate in the head with a wad of pizza dough, police report.

Investigators say Joseph Tresselt, 32, was making pizza Thursday evening when he got into a confrontation with Elvis Singleton, 62, in the St. Petersburg, Florida home they share.

While preparing the Italian delicacy, Tresselt told cops, Singleton "started making sounds like coughing, in a way that was to irritate him." Tresselt also reported hearing "voices telling him how to make the pizza."

Perturbed, Tresselt threw a piece of dough on the floor and "then threw it again at the victim," striking Singleton in the noggin as he was seated at the dining room table with his back to Tresselt.

Police reported that there "was no visible bruising" to Singleton as a result of the dough strike.

Tresselt reportedly admitted to tossing the dough because Singleton "was making coughing sounds that he did not like." He was arrested for misdemeanor battery and booked into the county jail, where he is locked up in lieu of $1150 bond. Tresselt was also charged with criminal mischief for allegedly breaking a piece of furniture in Singleton's room.

A judge ordered Tresselt (seen above) to have no contact with Singleton and barred him from returning to the pair's apartment.

Last year, Tresselt was busted for allegedly walloping Singleton. According to an arrest report, Tresselt said Singleton's "coughing noise caused him to punch the victim in the face." Prosecutors subsequently declined to pursue the battery case.

Spent three years in Florida, I think it's the heat and humidity that gets to you.

And the fire ants, snakes, gators, hurricanes and those that shall not be named.

I have trouble with the concept of jailing someone when no injury was inflicted.
I mean, two guys go at it in a bar, unless there are broken limbs or serious bleeding, should they go to jail or just get tossed out on their hiney?
Dough is pretty soft, so while pelting someone with it is completely immature, a sign he needs anger management, and a waste of pizza, it shouldn't be a reason to stuff our overcrowded prisons.

As for the cause of "Florida Man", IMO it's a contagion stemming from the redneck community which spreads the idea of "I do what I want because I big man, drive big truck held together with baling twine, don't care what anyone else thinks" which then only requires being inebriated to rise to the level of ludicrous and embarrassing.  The clinical test for the disorder should be telling a guy not to roll in mud because there's poo in it. At least 1 out of 5 Florida men would qualify.
