If you needed more proof that powersports vehicles are insanely capable—and terrifying in the wrong hands—look no further than Cape Coral’s latest “Florida Man” saga.
On the evening of April 20, 44-year-old Damion Scott Stafford decided it would be a good idea to mix alcohol, threats, a knife, and a red Yamaha ATV into one unforgettable mess. Police were originally called out for a disturbance involving weapons. By the time they got there, Stafford had already dipped—tearing off into the night on his quad, shirtless and reportedly ready for war.
Officers spotted him soon enough. The chase that followed sounds like it came straight from a Grand Theft Auto mission: no headlights, speeds topping 80 mph, weaving through residential neighborhoods for nearly 30 miles.
