Arrested 40 Times: Stephen Brewster Jailed Again In Sarasota, Florida (SLIDESHOW)

Stephen Brewster has been arrested 40 times in Sarasota County.

Lil' Wayne and Snoop Dogg combined couldn't put together a rap sheet longer than this perp's.

Florida man Stephen Brewster, 32, was collared Tuesday on a car burglary charge -- his 40th arrest in Sarasota County, according to a police press release.

His rap sheet includes charges of fraud, criminal mischief, grand theft, petty larceny, robbery, loitering, stealing credit cards, and plenty more, WTSP reported.

"He's been through the judicial system [so much], he probably knows it better than I do," Sarasota Sheriff Tom Knight told the station.

Check out the many mugshots of Stephen Brewster below.

It's yet unclear how long Brewster's 40th stay in jail will be -- he was denied bail at the county jail due to nine counts of probation violation, according to the Herald-Tribune.

It's a frustrating problem for the sheriff, who regularly has to process Brewster -- and spend county money.

"If anybody out there has the answers, we would love to have it," Knight told WTSP. "Because we're frustrated too, with arresting the same people over and over and over again."

The Florida State Attorney's Office told WTSP that it will seek prison time due to the probation violations.

Meanwhile, The Gainesville Sun reports that another Floridian, Lisa Riley, was picked up for her 41st arrest on Sunday -- though not all of them were in the same county. She's served four state prison terms since 1988.

Do you think that just maybe the law officers might have a bit of a hard on for this guy ??? They probably see him coming a mile away !!! He's got quite a reputation there that's for sure. He probably should have got out of Dodge a long time ago. Not to mention change his evil ways.

Maybe he just likes to bend over and spell run.

Lock him up already! I wonder if his skin was a shade darker would he have received so many second chances?

after scrolling through his mugshots it is clear that this man absolutely loves pain killers, his eyes are pinned in every freaking picture lol perhaps all the robberies theft and fraud are to fuel his ongoing opiate addiction? and i bet it all started with one little PERSCRIPTION pill. harmless right?

Don't they have a three strikes law? Lock him up for 6 or 8 years and maybe that'll take some of the fight out of him.
05:21 PM on 02/24/2012
I think it's the 43 strike law. lol

You sure you haven't been watching Fox news?

Sounded good to me. Why don't you take him into your home, feed him, hold hands and sing kumbaya? Will that make you feel better? Or better yet, maybe the Cubbies could sign him up. They might have a chance then. lol

Too bad that Jeb retired "Sparky" in 2000. Just because he accidentally caught some guy on fire and was screaming mercilessly as he was strapped in. I think that they needed a better reason than that to retire him.
01:14 AM on 02/24/2012
Maybe he should pick a different occupation he is real bad at being bad.
08:54 AM on 02/24/2012
Bad at being bad, bad at being good.
Could become a blues singer.

The guys us an idiot. Just put him in prison and throw away the key. How many lives must he ruin because he had a bad childhood...?
12:27 AM on 02/24/2012
did they not have enough room to keep him because the jails are full of pot smokers?
