New information has been added to the bottom of this story.

A car dealership in Brighton has heads turning in traditonal and social media around town thanks to a provocative sign that calls out a local panhandler.

Brighton Honda is at 8294 Grand River, near a busy intersection and close to the ramp for I-96.

The sign reads:

“Please do not give anything to this panhandler. We offered him a fulltime job at $10.00/HR. He said: ‘I make more a day than any of you’ and he did not want a job.”

UPDATE, 4:30 p.m.: According to WXYZ, the panhandler and his son have been arrested for disorderly conduct and vagrancy. The son apparently was “impeding traffic” and intoxicated.
