Police: Drunk, Naked Man Wields Hatchet After Being Mistaken for Uber Driver

The only part about this that does not make sense is that this did not happen in Florida. This happened in northern Virginia.

Police: Drunk, Naked Man Wields Hatchet After Being Mistaken for Uber Driver

by ARLnow.com — June 13, 2016 at 11:45 am

A Gainesville man was arrested early Sunday morning after a bizarre incident in the Crystal City area.

It all started around 2 a.m., on the 2300 block of S. Eads Street, when three people walked up to the suspect’s car, thinking it was their Uber ride.

A “verbal altercation ensued,” according to police, and then the suspect, who was drunk and naked at the time, grabbed a hatchet from the backseat and “started swinging the object.” The three individuals managed to take the hatchet away from the man before he hurt anyone, police said.

The suspect tried to flee the scene but was soon stopped by a U.S. Park Police officer, according to an Arlington County Police Department crime report (below). ... Michael Monroe, 64, now faces numerous charges in connection with the incident.

Apparently this song was done by some other group first, and this version is a cover. It's almost unwatchable.

My dream is to walk into a thrift store or yard sale and find these fashions. It'll never happen.



Due to copyright issues, this might be as close as you can get to seeing that other group on Youtube:

I was pulling in to the alley behind my house and there was three or four girls, obviously inebriated, standing half in the alley. I slowed almost to a stop so as not to hit them and one of them started pawing at my door handle. "Are you uber????"

No hatchets though. Living around Wrigley Field, I'm used to drunk meddling kids.

my car once when I was leaving work late at night, worked evenings. He thought I was the cab he called, had a Buick Century at the time. Gave him a ride back to his off campus housing.

it was Gainesville. Perhaps the not-Uber driver was upset he forgot to enter Florida in his GPS and got to Virginia by mistake.

edit: I got it wrong he was in Crystal City and is from Gainesville.
