A half-naked man has been arrested after he smashed his car into a jail, threw snakes, and screamed ‘the devil told me to kill’.
DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT
Joseph Leedy was wearing a woman’s blouse when he crashed into the Martin County Jail on Monday evening, June 3.
After he ploughed the Toyota through the doors, Leedy got out of the car wearing a female blouse and no pants, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.
The 40-year-old then allegedly poured motor oil on the floor and said he wanted to set it on fire.
STATEMENT FROM POLICE
Cops said he continued to make homicidal statements about officers and that he wanted to ‘kill everyone’ while he threw rubber snakes on the floor and fought with police and fire rescue crews.
While Leedy caused thousands of dollars in damage, he did not make it through the steel doors of the Florida jail.
According to investigators, nobody was present in the lobby when the crash happened.
Leedy, a homeless individual according to deputies, was restrained and transported to a nearby hospital. However, he then refused to cooperate with the hospital staff.

HE IS ANTI-TRUMP
Chief Deputy John Budensiek added that Leedy also talked about his hatred for former President Donald Trump.Â
