A Florida man wearing a Ronald McDonald costume and reportedly found carrying a faux orange firearm was jailed after he was seen clowning around at a shopping center that he was previously kicked out of.

Since 2016, McDonald’s has diminished the presence of Ronald McDonald as the main mascot for their brand. Still, on the afternoon of March 24, the character was seen at the Interchange Plaza shopping center in Palm Bay when a man put on a Ronald costume and visited the marketplace. Dressing like the iconic clown was likely enough to catch the attention of plaza patrons. But, as noted in the police report, the man, who was reportedly previously banned from the premises, was also allegedly “yelling to himself, and was loitering.”

The authorities were notified about the situation, and just before 3:30 PM, officers from the Palm Bay Police Department went to the mall to investigate. When they arrived, they found the person in the costume standing beside a bicycle in front of a store. He was identified as a 40-year-old local man who is currently without permanent housing. The police released footage from the officers’ body-worn cameras and said it showed that the suspect was immediately uncooperative and had to be held on the ground before the officers were able to cuff him. One of the officers can also be seen removing an orange toy gun from the man’s back pocket.

When a man at a bar on Florida’s West Coast reportedly got upset about the karaoke machine, he allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at one of the patrons.

According to their website, Overtime Sports Bar, which is located in a strip mall in Clearwater, offers karaoke to their patrons on Friday and Saturday nights. On March 15, the equipment used for the activity was on the fritz, causing the cancellation of that evening’s performances from potential crooners. One of the customers, later identified as a 34-year-old local, reportedly had a violent reaction to the situation which landed him behind bars.

It was reported that the man got frustrated when he learned the karaoke machine was broken, and shortly after, he walked out the door.

When a man and woman experienced multiple complications during their travels together in Florida, it reportedly resulted in a physical fight and an arrest for battery.

Earlier this month, two people started in Tampa and took a road trip together. They traveled west towards Orlando and made it approximately 80 miles before they stopped in Kissimmee due to mechanical issues with the vehicle. They decided to get a room at an Econo Lodge while they figured things out. Unfortunately, after a few days, they were unable to afford to continue staying at the motel and had to sleep in the broken down vehicle which was parked in the lot.

Considering their financial struggles, they had problems trying to think of a way to get the car fixed, and the pair reportedly began arguing. The situation intensified until it allegedly became physically violent, and the authorities were notified. When the police arrived, they said they received some conflicting statements when they interviewed the man and woman. The pair reportedly had different answers when asked about their relationship to one another, with the man saying they had been romantically connected for months, and the woman claiming it was untrue and that they were not a couple. The man also said she punched him in the face and threw urine on him, but they believed he was the one who became physically violent towards the woman.
