A New York man’s joyriding trip among the Florida surf was cut short by police after he deliberately circumvented a closed gate to drive onto the beach.

The event, which was caught on camera, captured Jason Brzuszkiewicz, 49, driving his Dodge Ram Pickup truck onto the shore of New Smyrna Beach just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

A press release from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said that Brzuszkiewicz bypassed the closed beach access gate, which was closed to vehicles due to a high tide and a severe wind.

The 48-year-old also failed to pay the vehicular access fee required for beach entry.

Police arrested Brzuszkiewicz and he was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail. 

He was charged with a violation of Volusia County Ordinance 20-174 [8], the failure to pay vehicular access fee, and was held on a $200 bond.

The truck was also towed by law enforcement.
