Certified wild

A Florida man allegedly punched a stranger in the face after the man told him he liked his car.

Polk County deputies say John Sturgeon, 53, stopped his black Dodge Charger on Tindel Camp Road near Dundee on the evening of September 1, 2024, got out, and punched another driver in the face, after that driver had simply told him, 'Nice car, bro! I like your car!' Dashcam video of the unprovoked punch went viral locally. The Polk County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Sturgeon's arrest on a battery charge, and he turned himself in after the footage spread online.
