Florida headlines teach me something new every day. Not only do they teach me how dumb our criminals are here in the Sunshine State, but also about laws and stipulations I didn’t know existed. For example, I didn’t know you could get permanently banned from your house. You can actually do jail time for it. If you don’t believe me, you’ll have to read this story about the Florida man who got arrested for going to his home. I've heard of people getting arrested for some crazy things, but I've never heard of someone getting arrested for going home.

How Can One Get Banned From Going Home?

Before we get into the actual crime, let me introduce you to Cory Driggers. This Bunnell, Florida man was arrested back in January 2023 for allowing individuals to reside on his property and engage in criminal activity for years. Not only was he permanently banned from his residence, but so was the owner of the house, John Driggers, who is Cody’s father, along with 3 other individuals who were arrested at the same time. Driggers was also prohibited from leasing, renting, or permitting any individuals on the property to engage in criminal activity. This didn’t stop Cody from going back though.

Cory went back to the house just a month after being court-ordered to never return, which landed him in jail for 90 days. You would think he would have learned his lesson, but that wasn’t the case. Driggers returned to the residence AGAIN. Now, he is sitting in jail and will be for 180 days.
