Like his t-shirt? Guess who arrested him

Lithia, Florida – Thomas Hoffman was certainly dressed for the occasion. On Saturday night, deputies say he decided to take his ATV out for a ride on Lithia-Pinecrest Road after having too much to drink.

He was allegedlly going approximately 70-75 mph in a 45 mph zone and driving erratically when he was spotted by none other than Hillsborough Sheriff David Gee.

Sheriff Gee says he witnessed 22-year-old Hoffman passing people in a no pass zone and nearly caused an accident with an oncoming vehicle. Sheriff Gee then made contact with Hoffman and when he identified himself, Hoffman tried to drive off. Sheriff Gee had to fight with the suspect, who tried to run off until he was handcuffed.

According to the police report, Hoffman smelled of alcohol, had red glassy eyes, slurred speech and was unsteady on his feet. He did not undergo a field sobriety test because he was combative with deputies and the sheriff. Hoffman later agreed at the jail to take a breath test.
