A Florida driver was taken into custody for driving around in a truck labeled “Booty Patrol”!
DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office deputies spotted a truck at Mosaic Arena with red-and-blue flashing lights attached to the grill, thinking the truck was a law enforcement, but when they went over to the truck they came to find it was made to look like a police truck. This prompted the driver of the truck to turn its lights off and speed away.
The paint job was made to look like a Customs and Border Patrol vehicle, so deputies chased after the truck and pulled it over. The driver, Gabriel Luviano-Renteria, was issued a citation for displaying prohibited lights on his vehicle, and has to pay $113 fine.
The department, however reviewed the footage and saw that the truck was identical to a Border Patrol vehicle, except for the phrase “Booty Patrol” stamped in place of “Border Patrol.” Deputies also discovered that Luviano-Renteria had a “Tik Tok” account on which he featured his truck.
“He uses this vehicle for publicity and followers and for fame,” the deputies report reads. “Watching the videos, I saw he has hashtags listed for ‘#immigration, #ice’ and talks about how his truck is illegal.”
Additional charges were filed for impersonating law enforcement and obstructing police.
