February is coming to a close, but it had its fair share of strange in Florida this month. Someone was stabbed with an EpiPen, a child was dumped into a garbage truck, and a lawyer lost his license for making porn. Unusual events are somewhat normal in the Sunshine State, and we've come to expect it by this point -- both onlookers and residents alike. Without further ado, here are the weirdest stories we found in February 2021.
