A Florida Man who identified himself to police as ‘Mr. Monopoly’ was taken directly to jail. However, that’s not even the craziest part!

It turns out that the moniker ‘Mr. Monopoly’ isn’t even the craziest part of the story! He also told officers he was born on 4/20/69. Clearly, this guy understands internet humor. What did he do that led to him ending up behind bars? Here’s more on the story.

‘Mr. Monopoly’ Taken Directly To Jail

According to The Smoking Gun, Ryan Howard, 33, was arrested for spray painting a wall in St. Petersburg, Florida. When officers approached him, they noticed he had a bag over his shoulder containing spray paint cans. They were able to do the math it seems like and found their suspect.

However, Howard refused to identify himself staying quiet as officers asked. That was until he identified himself as “Mr. Monopoly,” according to The Smoking Gun. He then provided his birthday as 4/20/1969, a clear play at the 420 and 69 jokes that are popular on the internet. Before long, he had been actually identified via his Maine driver’s license. He has since been charged with resisting. According to The Smoking Gun, Howard’s real birthday is on April 3rd, 1991. At least he had the month right?

Want to get a look at Mr. Monopoly? You can check out his mugshot from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office below. In a way, he could look like a young version of the Monopoly Man. It looks like he has a mustache and that’s the first step. Unfortunately, outside of that the two don’t seem to have very much in common. That’s not to say it won’t end up that way! He still has a chance to turn his life around. Perhaps he’ll age with grace and become the Monopoly Man he’s always dreamed of being. Check out his mugshot below.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
