FloriDUH: Key West Meth Theft

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, I have a florad story to get to this morning. Yeah. So,
ever do it up really big on like a milestone birthday,
like maybe your twenty first birthday you just go out
and tear it up, you know, or your thirtieth birthday.
Oh I'm not very celebratory. Well this guy chose to

(00:22):
do it on his fifty seventh birthday. Okay, well that's
random one, all right. Yeah, a man in key West, Oh,
here we go. His name is Jonathan Winslow, and he's
facing charges after he celebrated his birthday last Friday by
doing meth, stealing a trolley and driving it around Key
West picking up tourists. I do think fifty seven is

(00:42):
a good myth number. I think it goes together. Yeah.
So there's a famous trolley in key West called the
Conk Tour Train. I think we've actually been on that. Yeah,
I know exactly. Yeah. It looks like an old timey train.
It does sixty minute tours. It's been operating since nineteen
fifty eight. All right. So Jonathan showed up at the

(01:03):
station at eleven thirty am last Friday, which was also
the fourth of July. He left his Kia out back
with the engine running in rock music blasting on the radio.
So he goes in there and he tells an employee
that he used to work there and asked if he
could take a look at one of the trains. Now
it's not clear if he actually ever worked there or not.

(01:24):
He then hopped in one of the trolleys and took off,
leaving the employee confused. They thought maybe he had permission
to take it, but he didn't, so cops eventually found
him on the other side of town at the famous
southernmost point Booie. Okay. He had driven at least a mile,
picked up several passengers friends. Yeah, And when they told

(01:49):
him he was being arrested, he said it was his
birthday and claimed he had just borrowed the trolley. And
they say he was speaking very fast, like he was
on something. Well, they searched him and they found a
pipe in his pocket and he claimed it was for weed,
but it was a meth pipe. And he's facing charges
for burglary, grand theft, auto, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

(02:11):
I mean, this sounds like pretty normal behavior for Key West. Yeah,
I mean, just another day. They didn't hurt any and
I mean if he really wanted this to be a
Florida story, they would have found the pipe up his
keystar Yeah yeah, his prison pouch as you call it,
