The reason for the cliche isn't just that weird shit happens in Florida - though it does. It's that Florida releases much more information about arrests, so we hear about all of it.
A study a few years ago showed that most of what's reported nationally about Florida crime is what they called "crimes of homelessness". Public nudity, sex, drug use ... all things that if you have a house to do them in nobody knows or (mostly) cares.
