Florida Man May 7, 2019 – Pulled Over by an Officer Because of his “I Eat Ass” Sticker
Columbia County, Florida. Police pulled over a truck driven by a Florida man with an “I Eat Ass” sticker. Florida man is now claiming police violated his first amendment rights.
Dillon Shane Webb, 23, was driving his Chevrolet truck on Highway 90 when a Columbia County Sheriff Officer pulled him over.
The deputy pointed out the sticker on the back of the truck was a violation of possession and distribution of obscene material.
But in Webb’s defense, he asserted his First Amendment right to freedom of expression and pointed out that it was just words.
The officer explained that if a child saw it from a truck and asked about it, Webb’s response was just, “up to the parent,” the report states.
Webb was scheduled to appear in the Columbia County Courthouse on May 23 due to this incident. However, the officer instructed him to remove a letter from the phrase to make it less offensive.
But he refused and still wants the world to know how much he likes the practice.

The store officer confronted word, but he threatened him with the knife. The officer then called the police immediately to report a shoplifting incident.
