He was yelling at passing cars in the road, Florida cops say. Then they saw his beer
An “intoxicated” Florida man was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge Tuesday evening in Seminole, about 15 miles west of Tampa, and the police report mentions his drink of choice.
The 39-year-old was taken into custody at around 7 p.m. while raising a ruckus between Antilles Drive and Clarendon Road — while holding a can of “Florida Man” beer, the report notes.

The affidavit says police responded after reports of the man causing a “public disturbance,” “yelling at traffic” while walking on the road in front of cars and “refusing to stop.”
Florida Man Double IPA is made produced by Cigar City Brewing, in Tampa.
“This hopped-up whopper of a beer is big in character and guaranteed to sear itself into your memory,” according to the description.
The Florida man drinking Florida Man was booked into Pinellas County Jail, and released after posting $100 bond.
According to court records, he has a lengthy rap sheet, including convictions for obstructing police, trespassing and possession of open alcohol.

Family of U.S. Olympic Gymnast Dominique Dawes Mourns After Tragic Ending to Weeklong Search
Dominique Dawes is mourning the passing of her father-in-law, Leonard Hugh Thompson. After an exhaustive search, officials have confirmed that the 79-year-old’s body was found on Saturday, December 20th, in Troutville, Virginia.
The sad update from Dawes was posted on social media late Saturday night, following several other posts asking for the public’s help in looking for her father-in-law. Thompson was last seen on the night of Monday, December 15th, and his abandoned vehicle was found on December 16th while he remained a critically missing adult.
Dawes captioned the post with the heartfelt sentiment, “We take comfort in knowing that he is now with our Lord and Savior.”https://www.instagram.com/p/DSgVLphEZC4/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=12
The post includes a photo of proud “Papa T.” with one of Dawes’ 4 children, whom she shares with husband, Jeff Thompson. “Our last moment with him was accompanying him at mass and giving him a hug and my husband and I said, ‘Get home safely’…. Rest in Peace, Papa T,” Dawes included in the caption.
The 49 year old Olympic gold medalist shared a video earlier Saturday, pleading for the public’s help in finding her father-in-law, “He may have possibly suffered a health episode and is more than likely disoriented and confused,” she captioned the video, continuing with, “Anything you can do to share this post and help us get national exposure so that my kids can see their grandfather again.”
Condolences have poured in:
- Fellow Olympic Gymnast Dominique Moceanu offered her support: “I am so sorry to hear this, Dominique. Prayers to you all. Our family is deeply sorry for your loss. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.”
- Another fan said, “I am so sad to hear about your loved one’s passing around Christmastime. Praying that God will comfort you and your family through this,” acknowledging the sadness surrounding such a loss at this time of year.
- Hundreds of more messages of sympathy and support have been left on Dawes’ post from friends, family, and fans.
Dawes is a three-time Olympian, competing in the 1992, 1996, and 2000 games. According to People, she is the first Black woman to earn an Olympic gold in gymnastics. She currently resides in Virginia and has opened 4 youth gymnastics facilities, with 2 more set to open in early 2026.

Billionaire Mark Cuban Wants U.S. Healthcare To Go Back To 1955. Doctors Provide Care, Patients Get A Bill —’And If They Can Afford It, They Pay’
Healthcare didn’t become confusing overnight. It got there slowly, buried under paperwork, billing codes, and middlemen most patients never asked for. That frustration is what Mark Cuban, the self-made billionaire and longtime Shark Tank investor, decided to unpack on his own — without being asked.
In January, Cuban returned to his personal site, Blog Maverick, after a long stretch of silence. “I haven’t published anything on here in a long, long time.. Thought it would be fun to start up again,” he wrote. He said the post was meant to be informal and exploratory. “I wanted to give some stream of consciousness thoughts on how I think we can ‘fix’ the economics of healthcare.. Hopefully I make a lot of folks think and make a lot of folks in the industry think harder.”

From there, Cuban went straight to what he sees as the core problem. “Healthcare is a very simple industry made complicated,” he wrote, arguing that the complexity isn’t driven by better care but by the pursuit of margin dollars.
When Cuban asked what healthcare should look like, his answer was intentionally retro. “Hypothetically, it should look like 1955,” he wrote. “Patients go to providers for care. Providers provide that care. Patients get a bill and if they can afford it, they pay that bill. That’s it.”
In his view, everything else is secondary. “The ONLY question in healthcare should be ‘How should care for people who can’t afford to pay for their care be paid?'” he wrote. The rest, he suggested, is noise layered onto a transaction that used to be straightforward.

Cuban also took aim at how pricing gets obscured. He criticized bundled charges, markups on basic supplies, and contracts so complex they hide real costs. Publishing prices alone doesn’t solve it, he argued, when “everyone bundles and upcodes and plays games.”
Insurance companies, he wrote, are a major source of that distortion. Managing and administering payments alone can add 20% to 30% in overhead, before accounting for fraud and overbilling. “That’s real money,” Cuban said, especially in a system he estimates costs about $5 trillion a year.

That line of thinking mirrors how Cuban tends to approach business more broadly. He’s less interested in flashy solutions than in stripping away layers that exist mainly because they always have. The opportunity, in his view, isn’t inventing complexity but removing it.

That instinct is what led him to launch Cost Plus Drugs, a company built around transparent pricing and cutting out middlemen in pharmaceuticals. It’s also why he’s long been drawn to early-stage companies that challenge entrenched industries by simplifying how things work. For investors watching healthcare, Cuban’s message reads less like nostalgia and more like a signal that disruption often starts by making broken systems behave the way people assumed they already did.
Cuban made clear he wasn’t offering a finished blueprint. “I did all of this in about 90 minutes,” he wrote, inviting criticism and debate.
But the takeaway was unmistakable. Progress doesn’t always come from adding something new. Sometimes, it comes from remembering what worked before everything got in the way.
