 Florida man dressed in full jester costume arrested for pulling 12-inch dagger on landscaper over loud mowing
Story by Caitlin McCormack • 21h

A Florida man was arrested last week while dressed in a full jester costume after he threatened a landscaper with a 12-inch-long dagger, apparently perturbed by the sound of the worker’s lawnmower, cops said.

The angry jester, Anthony Marzola, was cuffed last Thursday following the alleged assault on Brian Hanson, who was mowing two lawns on a St. Petersburg street near Marzola’s smoke shop shortly after 2 p.m.

Marzola, who was bizarrely “wearing a full ‘jester’ costume during the incident and arrest,” pulled the huge dagger from his vehicle and stalked towards a blissfully unaware Hanson, who couldn’t hear the exasperated jester as he approached, according to an arrest affidavit.
 

The middle-aged clown started “yelling that he cannot be mowing,” even though it was well into the afternoon on a weekday, according to the docs.

I must confess that the mental image of a full grown man in a jester suit gave me a chuckle...the rest not so much.

Seriously, a twelve inch dagger? What was the guy thinking, it was a landscaper, everyone nows that for a landscaper you use a machete not a dagger!

There's the whole varmint dispatch angle too... Not that it would matter much. Back in the day Ida took the knife away from him and stuck it where the sun don't shine.
