MARTIN COUNTY — A man who demanded a Martin County sheriff’s deputy take him to Fort Lauderdale got hauled to jail instead, according to sheriff’s records.

Investigators encountered Manuel Gonzalez, 35, on Oct. 1 in the 7600 block of Southwest Lost River Road.

Gonzalez, described by deputies in a report as “highly intoxicated,” said he and a friend were at a gas station in Indiantown getting snacks, and that when he came out, his truck was gone.

Gonzalez, of Fort Lauderdale, said he wanted to complete a stolen vehicle report, but investigators told him a report already was taken.

A man identified as Roberto Hernandez-Jimenez, 35, was with Gonzalez. Hernandez-Jimenez also was described by deputies in a report as “highly intoxicated.”

Gonzalez said he’d call for a ride home, but evidently changed his mind.

He “demanded” a deputy take him to Fort Lauderdale — two counties and more than 70 miles away.

“It’s your job to give me a ride, wherever I want to go,” Gonzalez is quoted as saying.

He again declined to call someone, and investigators noted it appeared he was urinating on the side of the road.

Deputies say Gonzalez and Hernandez-Jimenez, also of Fort Lauderdale, started walking in the road and two vehicles nearly struck them.

Gonzalez and Hernandez-Jimenez each were arrested on a disorderly intoxication charge. Gonzalez was arrested on an additional false official statement charge.
