A homeless man is facing a possible prison term for allegedly charging tourists $5 to park in a free lot

Bruce Lee Thompson, 57, was held Monday at the Okaloosa County jail in Crestview on $2,000 bail. He has a July 19 court date on charges of obtaining property by impersonation, theft and a licensing violation. If convicted, penalties could range from probation to more than five years in prison.

The unemployed man set up a sign advertising "party parking," according to his arrest report.

To a lot of people, three hots and cot is vastly superior to scrounging for food daily and sleeping on a concrete mattress. I've been homeless before, but I've never gotten to the point where jail sounded like a superior situation.
