🚔 DRIVING MISS CRAZY: Naples Man Gives Free NASCAR Audition on Public Roads While Drunk, Shockingly Fails

🚔

In what can only be described as a brilliant display of life choices, a Naples man decided to combine two of Florida’s favorite pastimes—reckless driving and bad decision-making—by leading police on a high-speed drunk driving chase through the city this week.

Authorities say the suspect reached speeds that would make a Formula 1 driver sweat, all while under the glorious influence of liquid courage. Because, of course, nothing screams “responsible adult” like slamming back a few shots and turning your car into a getaway vehicle straight out of a mid-budget action movie.

Witnesses reported the suspect weaving through traffic like a toddler in a Power Wheels, only less coordinated. One bystander commented, “At first I thought it was some kind of Fast & Furious stunt. Then I remembered, this is Naples—not Vin Diesel’s turf, just guys in loafers with road rage.”

Police pursued the suspect through residential streets, highways, and possibly an Arby’s drive-thru (unconfirmed), before finally bringing the joyride to a close with the help of spike strips, flashing lights, and the sheer gravity of the suspect’s life choices.

When officers finally arrested the driver, sources say he appeared shocked—shocked!—that speeding drunk through a retirement haven while fleeing the cops might have consequences. “I was just trying to get home,” he reportedly slurred, which is ironic, considering he was heading in the exact opposite direction of his listed residence.

The suspect now faces a delightful sampler platter of charges, including DUI, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, reckless driving, and just being an absolute menace to society.

Naples Police released a statement thanking officers for their quick response and reminding the public that “if you want to race, try Mario Kart—not U.S. 41.”

The suspect’s court date is set for later this month, though his legal defense may need to answer the age-old question: “Was it the tequila, the ego, or both?”
