An Iranian national armed with a machete, pickax, knives and $22,000 was arrested Friday near the Flagler Memorial Bridge, which connects Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, Palm Beach police said.

A call of a suspicious person was made to Palm Beach police, CBS4 reported. During their investigation they found the weapons and $22,000 in U.S. cash.

The man was identified by his passport as Masoud Yareioeill Zoleh, an Iranian national who is in the country legally, said Michael Ogrodnick, the police departmentâ€™s spokesman. His car was parked at Palm Beach International Airport.

Machete and pickaxe -- sounds about right.

@Fishrrman

I don't know where he got it,but it seems obvious to me he wanted to be a Florida Man,and had the money to buy drinks and drugs so he could make friends.
