A Florida man was appropriately dressed for his arrest Tuesday.

A mug shot released by the Lee County Sheriff’s Department shows suspect Micah Dailey wearing a green T-shirt with the Monopoly board game order to “Go Directly to Jail.”

Dailey, 20, of Cape Coral, was arrested at 12:20 a.m. Tuesday for possession of marijuana of no more than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the sheriff’s office.

He was in custody for about 7 hours before posting $6,500 bail. He has a trial date scheduled for Dec. 1.

Like in the game, he was also not allowed to pass “Go” and collect $200.

The arrest appears to be fairly mundane but the mugshot did catch the eye of officers in the department who had a good laugh about it, Sgt. Scott Lineberger told the Daily News.

“It had an element of humor to it,” he said.
