You know what state man sorry for baby pawning prank

Another day in the adventures of Florida Man

A massive manhunt ensued after a Sarasota man tried to pawn his baby. Turns out, it was a prank gone wrong and the man is now speaking out. He's very sorry for what happened.

On Tuesday evening, a man entered the A&F Pawn shop in Sarasota and made a strange request to store owner Richard Jordan.

"The weirdest, strangest situation we've ever encountered,” said Jordan. "He put it on the counter, he was pretty serious about it. He spun the baby around, and said- can I pawn this?"

It lasted less than a minute, but after he left Jordan called the police. A few hours later, Brian Slocum realized he was all over the news. He called authorities to explain and soon dozens of officers were outside his home.
