Drunk Driver Arrested For Knocking Over 17 Street Signs

CASSELBERRY, Fla. -- Police in Casselberry arrested a drunk driver who knocked over 17 street signs in a neighborhood near State Road 436 on Monday night.

It's hard to believe why anyone would intentionally drive over as many stop signs and streets signs as possible. Crews worked through the morning Tuesday, and most of the day, replacing 17 sings destroyed by 26-year-old Phillip Strange, who Casselberry police said recklessly drove his Jeep the night before.

"A bunch of cops showed up here at the corner. He walked out with a sock over his head and told them, 'I'm the one you want. I'm right here,'" explained roommate Charles Clark.

According to the incident report, Strange repeatedly told police officers he was drunk. He also said he was paid $45 to knock over the signs.

"We're talking 17 signs at more than $200. You can do the math to see how much it's costing the city and taxpayers to get this put back in place," said Public Works supervisor Juan Maldonado.

It was an expensive joy ride that left signs on practically every sidewalk and front yard in a 10-block radius.

Strange was charged with driving under the influence, criminal mischief, and driving with a suspended license.
