Man says ‘everyone does cocaine,’ mom is ‘happy pill’

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A man who told deputies his mom is his “happy pill” and said “everyone does cocaine” was arrested and taken to the Indian River County Jail, an affidavit states.

Indian River County sheriff’s deputies encountered Matt Borengasser, 26, on March 22 after reports of a person “wearing jeans and no shirt running through traffic” at State Road 60 and 43rd Avenue.

It apparently was the second time in less than an hour that deputies spoke with Borengasser.

The first time, Borengasser appeared to be on some sort of narcotic, and smelled of booze.

“He began talking to himself and stating everyone does cocaine and he tries to avoid the people of Gifford selling crack and cocaine to juveniles,” an affidavit states.

Investigators reported Borengasser “continued to cause a scene” in a business parking lot. He said he lived in the area, and deputies told him to go home. He started walking away.

When investigators were called later to the area of State Road 60 and 43rd Avenue, Borengasser said he was on his way to Walmart because his mom asked him to get groceries.

Deputies asked why he again was in traffic, and Borengasser said he was “just dancing down the sidewalk.”

They asked if he’d taken any medicine to cause his mental state and he said, “My mom is my happy pill.”

Borengasser, of the 2100 block of 35th Avenue in Vero Beach, was arrested on a disorderly intoxication charge.
