    Florida suspect 'fled from police on hoverboard'

    A Florida man suspected of a drug offence tried to flee from US police on his hoverboard, an affidavit seen by the BBC has said.

    The suspect, Jerome Antoine Dennis, was approached in the town of Clearwater on Sunday evening by an officer who noticed the smell of marijuana.

    Police said the man tried to escape by hoverboard, but was arrested. He has yet to enter a plea to two charges.

    Hoverboards are wheeled devices with a top speed of just over 10mph (16km/h).

    "When a visibly marked officer attempted to make contact with the defendant he attempted to flee on his hoverboard and then on foot before being apprehended," the affidavit reads.

    "A strong odour of marijuana was on the person as well."

    Mr Dennis was charged with possession of marijuana and resisting an officer.

    Are you sure it's not just the demographic?

    Before you blame something that is qualitatively safer than alcohol and cigarettes, at least pretend to consider the whole picture.

    Is Florida just a fake reality tv show but like the entire state is in on it?

    Scenario 1. Florida man abducts, eats toddler alive. Worlds response: classic florida man

    Scenario 2. Man abducts, eats toddler alive. Worlds response: this is the worst thing since 9/11

    Don't be dumb, it doesn't say he tried to go over water.

    Since when did having 2 wheels on the ground count as hovering? When did we, as a society decide that our want for a hoverboard was more important than actually meeting the definition of hover.

    OT: ha floridaman.

    Apparently it stopped working as he fled over a pond and police were able to apprehend him, officer Griff Tannen was quoted as saying "What a bojo, those boards don't work on water!".
