Florida Man Spends Tax Return On 1 Pound Of Weed, Immediately Regrets It

Author Sean Roberts
The smell of weed surrounded the car.

“There was a strong smell of marijuana eminating from the vehicle” as an officer approached Florida man’s car.

It’s not the first time an American has spent his income tax return in an unwise way. When you a shiny new set of 24s on a $600 car? Tax return. When you see the box to an 80 inch TV in front of a single-wide? Tax return. When I have two dozen fresh organic eggs at mny house? Tax return. It’s a flex of sorts. But some people have different prioroties. Take Florida man, who decided to spend his tax return on a pound of weed.

Deputies in Monroe County say they pulled over 31-year-old Alexander Rey Rivero of Big Coppitt Key for driving 35 mph in a 25 mph zone. When they approached his Infinity, they noted a strong aroma of marijuana. When deputies questioned the suspect, he admitted to them that he had recently bought a pound of weed with his tax return. When asked for his driver’s license, it was also discovered that Rivero was driving without a license. Rivero was charged with possession of marijuana and driving without a valid driver’s license.

Once the deputy detected the presence of marijuana in the suspect’s car, he confronted the man, who admitted to driving without a license and possession of marijuana. The man also told the officer where he had hidden the weed and how he’d bought it with his $500 tax return. Rivero was jailed in the Monroe County Jail, where he remains with no bond amount listed.

A Salute To The Quiet Beatle

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
