A Florida man who was arrested for refusing to remove a sticker on his car that read ‘I eat a–‘ had all charges dropped against him on Thursday, officials said.
Dillon Shane Webb, 23, was informed by state prosecutors that the evidence against him does not warrant prosecution and Webb has a valid defense under the First Amendment.
“[The deputy] overstepped his boundaries by asking me to remove the sticker,” Webb told The Post on Thursday. “I want people to see that police officers are not above the law.”
The man admitted there are limits to freedom of speech but said his case did not meet the criteria for being a crime.
“Saying ‘bomb’ on a plane — that’s just being stupid,” Webb added. “Mine is just funny.”
Webb was driving a brown Chevrolet truck on Sunday when a deputy noticed the sexually suggestive sticker fastened to the rear window.
The deputy told Webb that the sticker violates a state obscenity law but Webb replied it was “just words.”
The deputy then asked Webb how “a parent of a small child” would explain what those words meant. Webb said it would be “up to the parent.”
Webb had been charged with obscene writing on vehicles and resisting an officer without violence.
His law firm said on Thursday that they will “transition from defense to offense.”
