A man who was caught on camera breaking into a Florida restaurant allegedly defecated inside the premises before leaving. The accused also reportedly stole some items and alcohol before leaving.
Officials said the intruder entered Joe’s Crab Shack on 2024 W. First Street in Fort Myers at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, according to WFLA News Channel 8.

The suspect was wearing a grey sweatshirt and light-colored shorts during the incident. He also had sunglasses and was wearing white shoes at the time.
The police department also shared surveillance footage of the man during the break-in in the comments section of their Facebook post.
Rosane Rashid, who visits the restaurant once in a while, heard about the break-in and defecating incident and found it disgusting.
“It’s very insane and disgusting I just don’t understand how anyone could do something like that. That’s really disgusting and yeah it is one of those ‘Florida man,’ stories that puts us on the map,” Rashid told WINK News.
Kathleen Hadsell, who was on a vacation in Fort Myers, spoke to the outlet about the incident. “There’s other ways to go about making a name for yourself than doing something like that so hopefully they catch the guy,” Hadsell was quoted saying.
