Don Castner, Florida Man, Arrested Wearing 'Jail Sucks!" T-Shirt

Guy Wearing 'Jail Sucks!' Shirt Gets Locked Up

One man from Florida decided to buy and wear a "Jail Sucks!" T-shirt, complete with an illustration of an angry inmate behind bars.

And then he was arrested.

Undercover agents in Florida allegedly caught Don Castner, 39, selling Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT), The Smoking Gun reported. For more on Castner's previous experiences behind bars, see the Smoking Gun's story here.

Castner was one of 39 people who fell victim to Manatee County Sheriff Office's "Operation Meal Ticket II," -- an undercover investigation targeting food stamp fraud, according to ABC Action News.

Authorities say suspects selling the EBT cards used the profits to buy drugs and alcohol.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Manatee County Sheriff Brad Steub said the 4-month-long investigation led to 103 arrest warrants, WTSP reported.

Castner, meanwhile, had to replace his novelty shirt with a smock before he was booked into jail, according to The Smoking Gun.
