Gov DeSantis: Florida's not running daycare centers at universities

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis discusses anti-Israel protests on college campuses and why he's suing the Biden administration over changes to Title IX.

A homeless Florida man wearing women's clothes who wanted to "kill everyone" intentionally drove a vehicle through the jail, authorities said Tuesday. 

Joseph Leedy, 40, drove a car through the doors of the Martin County Jail lobby Tuesday night, the Martin County Sheriff's Office said. Images released by the sheriff's office show a Toyota halfway inside the jail building with the doors ripped off.

After the crash, Leedy got out of the car wearing a female blouse and no pants. He allegedly poured motor oil on the floor and said he wanted to set it on fire. 

"He continued making homicidal statements about police officers and expressed his desire to ‘kill everyone’ while he threw rubber snakes on the floor and fought with deputies and fire rescue personnel," authorities said. 

The crash caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to the building, but the car was only able to get halfway into the building. No one was standing in the lobby at the time.

Leedy was restrained and taken to a hospital where he was uncooperative, authorities said. He was then taken back to jail.
