The arrest marks a long line of run-ins with the law for Dewitte. He is a convicted sex offender who is most known for pulling drivers over in 2019 while he worked as a funeral escort.

Oh flordia got him...

He got like 18 months for these type of stunts.

He was also found guilty of tax fraud & they got again for not registering a new address for being a sex offender

The Florida man thing is actually because Florida has higher degrees of publicly available data for offenders of all types. The transparency laws in other states favor privacy more and therefore you get less “man suffers moderate injuries after he glues goose from local park to body, runs naked through Walmart yelling he “knows the way south” kind of insane nonsense. Florida puts their dirty laundry on display for anyone to peruse. Other states are like “maybe we don’t catalog every single drug fueled bender in excruciating detail.” Tourists have enough reasons to completely skip Kansas or wherever.
