Florida Man is back at it again, this time carjacking his own grandmother, then writing an apology letter by hand. It’s such a bizarre case that if it didn’t come out of Florida, about the only other possible place would’ve been California.
Florida man makes dirt angels while hiding from police.
According to Fox 35 Orlando, Alan Aspinwall allegedly told his grandmother he needed to get something out of the trunk of her car. She unlocked it for him, then stepped outside a short while later to make sure he got inside okay.
That’s when he reportedly pushed her to the ground, pulling the keys out of her hand and in the process cutting one of her hands. Then he allegedly jumped in the car and took off, making it an unarmed carjacking.
Later, police tracked down the stolen car and arrested Aspinwall. After getting busted, the guy wrote a four-page letter by hand to his granny, apologizing for what he’d done. The real question is was he remorseful about hurting his grandmother or was he remorseful about getting in trouble for it?
Florida has enhancements for assaulting and stealing from elderly people, which honestly makes sense since elder abuse is a real problem. While Aspinwall is facing those steeper consequences, he reportedly was already wanted for exposing himself. We know it’s innocent until proven guilty, but if this guy is found guilty he needs to face some real consequences.
For what it’s worth, his grandmother told a Fox 35 reporter that she believes his addiction problems fueled the attack. She also said she forgives her grandson.
Finally, can we ask if he can get extra charges for wearing one of the worst hairstyles we’ve ever seen? Does the guy not have access to mirrors?
