Fort Myers, Florida
Judging from his
Twitter and
Instragram accounts, 19-year-old Damian Pierce is a (sadly) typical teenager. Both of his social media accounts are filled with
embarrasing selfies,
poor attempts at being clever, and
occasionally amusing observations.
Damian also seems to be a major proponent of two things that people tend to feel very strongly about: God and marijuana.
His allegiance to the herb is evidenced by multiple postings in
support of marijuana legalization along with
bragging openly about his own toking sessions. Damian's love of God, on the other hand, is proudly displayed as a
tattoo on his chest stating 'Phillipians 4:13.' The Bible verse Damian felt strongly about enough to have permanently inked on his body
reads 'I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.'
People who quote Leviticus (especially the verse
In most cases, there probably isn't a lot that Christians and marijuana supporters would typically agree upon. But after
January 26, 2014, both groups can come together and agree that they don't want this person trying to represent either one of them.
You must look like this for that
statement to not sound ridiculous
One of the officers immediately
deployed a Taser on Damian, which brought him to the ground. The officers then tried to handcuff Mr. Running With Scissors only to discover that he still had a little fight left in him.
After finally getting Damian subdued, the officers looked around the bedroom, which had
already been completely trashed prior to the altercation. But aside from the multiple holes that Damian had
punched into the wall, they didn't find any evidence of drugs being involved...until they looked outside and discovered
Damian's backpack, which contained marijuana (not unexpected) and crystal meth (yikes).
After being taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and observation, Damian Pierce was
arrested and charged with
occupied burglary, burglary with battery, felony vandalism, aggravated assault, resisting arrest without violence (?) and battery on a law enforcement officer.
And as embarrassed as Damian may be about this mugshot, it's still nearly not as bad as
this picture that he willingly published for on his Twitter account for everyone to see:
...although it might help him make a few friends while in prison.
