The ordeal happened Thursday night in front of shocked shoppers in the town just outside Birmingham, Leeds Police Chief Paul Irwin said.
The 42-year-old Alabama man did a “cannonball” leap into the aquarium and then stood under a waterfall. He left the water to yell at two officers, then dove back into the aquarium, police said.
The man eventually climbed over the side of the aquarium and fell to the concrete floor below. Police then apprehended him, the news site Al.com reported.
He faces several charges including public lewdness, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
The man was in the water for about five minutes before officers arrived, Irwin said.
“Do what you must, for I have already won.”
Florida man go on vacation?
They visited Alabama’s inland Sea World.
Gotta say, I can see the appeal.
Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.
This truly made me laugh out loud. The actual story is even funnier than the headline.
Every part of this headline is more insane than the last.
and they somehow skipped over him crashing his car outside before running in
for a moment I thought maybe this was a planned dare or something but no, this was just a guy who had crashed his car and saw an aquarium and made some off the cuff choices.
Favorite news of the day. So funny and relative to the rest of the world is harmless. Gogo redneck stupidity. LOLOLOLOL
This should be an event in the Olympics.
“This wouldn’t be illegal if Bass Pro Shop would just take the $500 I offered to swim in the fish tank. SeaWorld was cool with it, why not Bass Pro Shop?”
Florida Man: I am da best!
Alabama Man enters the chat
Hellabaman is edging up on Floridaman for first place.
'Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I’ve just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you’re doing and listen.
CANNONBALL!!’
Some teens jumped into our local bass pro aquarium too (not nude though). People were just really confused and blandly watched them climb back out. As far as I know they got away scott free, but they were at least smart enough to not stick around.
These stories always seem to take place at a Bass Pro or a Hard Rock Cafe…
Alabama keeping it classy.
Florida Man VS Alabama Boi is the best the Anthropocene Kaiju flicks.
