On Tuesday, a surprising series of events unfolded along U.S. 1 and State Road 520 that began with a hit-and-run and ended at a local strip club. According to the report filed by the Cocoa police department, a man wielding a sign declaring himself to be homeless and asking for help was seen walking around State Road 520 shortly before the incident. Around 2:00 in the afternoon, this same man was hit by a gold-colored Ford Explorer SUV as he was attempting to cross the road.
