admin Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 “Florida Man” mugshots and stories are a genre of their own these days — but two recent bookings from the Sunshine State may have upped the game even higher. Lawrence Sullivan, a 30-year-old tattoo model from the Miami area, was arrested for violating his probation from a charge in 2017, where his inked visage first took the internet by storm, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Back then, the “Miami Joker” was arrested after police received a call that someone was pointing a gun at vehicles. When they arrived, police said Sullivan told them he had a gun in his pocket and that he didn’t have a permit because it was too expensive. Be the first to know.

But what stuck out to people wasn’t his list of charges — it was his extraordinarily large neck. The jokes — and there are many of them — just kept coming, and the post soon had more than 200,000 comments and just as many shares by Thursday morning.
