Too Big To Jail: 500-Pound Suspect Challenges Cops

500-pound Suspect Doesn't Fit Into Florida Patrol Car



The scales of justice can handle Howard Hendrix and his domestic disturbance charge, but Florida deputies had problems arresting and transporting the heavy suspect.

At 500 pounds, the 6-foot-tall Hendrix was too big to fit into a Volusia Count patrol car.

The solution was to summon a prisoner transport van to haul Hendrix to the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach on Sunday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.



Before that, Hendrix, 45, of Apopka, Florida, used his size to resist arrest in other ways.

Hendrix sat down on the floor and challenged officers to move him. He also allegedly kicked a deputy in the leg, according to police documents obtained by the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Kind of like the 400+ pounds guy that some officers arrested at sprouts earlier this week. They had to taser him and his rather large sweetie pie who came to his aid. They both left in a paddy wagon because they had trouble getting him into a cruiser.
