Nicholas Coffey Of Palm Coast Florida Was Arrested For Burglary After Bragging About His “New Mercedes” On Social Media

Another case of a Florida Man getting busted for being stupid. For some reason, criminals don't seem to understand that the police also are on Tik Tok. What do you really think they're doing when you see a cop car on the side of the road? They scrolling just like the rest of us. So when Nicholas Coffey of Palm Coast was on the socials bragging about his new Mercedes Benz, maybe that wasn't the greatest idea.

So, there was a rash of break ins in Deltona Florida over the weekend. If you're new, Deltona is just north of Orlando. Nicholas Coffey and a friend were breaking into vehicles and using a Mercedes that they had stolen in Ormond Beach, Florida as their getaway.

Unfortunately for the duo, they needed to gas up and at 4:30 am on Saturday in Deltona and they were spotted by security cameras. Nick's distinctive neck tattoos and the fact that he was still wearing blue latex gloves aroused suspicions. Security images were circulated and a Volusia Sheriff's Office deputy recognized him from a previous warrant. According to their facebook page "Deputies and detectives tracked down Coffey in Daytona Beach around 5 a.m. Sunday, arrested him on his outstanding warrant, and then transported him to Deltona for an interview with detectives. He did not deny being the subject caught on video but also did not confess to the crimes."

License plate reader data puts the stolen car in the area of the break ins. The same stolen car he was bragging about on the socials. They were also spotted on residential security cameras.

11 counts of conspiracy to commit burglary of a conveyance and 1 count of conspiracy to commit attempted burglary of a conveyance, with a total bond of $57,500. Also, violation of probation for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Meanwhile, people over in the Tampa area have found a much different way to spend their Labor Day weekend.

St. Pete Beach in Florida has always been more of the party section of Tampa. But there's a beach bar called Undertow that's really setting itself apart. First up, the staff are in bikinis. It's a beach bar, so the theme makes sense. But if you want the full experience of this place, order the upside down shot.

My love of St. Pete Beach goes back way before I moved to South Florida. It's where we came for Spring Break. The four of us from Ohio met up with a local who showed us the best spots to party away from the usual hang outs. I'd put it down as one of the top 5 most insane weeks of my life. Somehow we escaped with no injuries or arrests. The old adage "come on vacation, leave on probation" didn't apply to us, but not for lack of trying.

Back to the Undertow.

After I saw some of the videos trending, I checked out some Yelp Reviews. Lol. It's basically out of town tourists trashing the place. One from Tennessee obviously expected different "Bartending is an art." An 'elite reviewer' from Ohio says "We are visiting from a city who has exceptional cocktail bars and amazing service. Not this ." Love this review "if you are a man and want to see bartenders in thongs. Well this is your place to go."

So what's got the Yelp Karens all worked up? It's something the Undertow calls the 'Upside Down Shot'.

This is the original video I saw trending. You can say whatever you want about the drinks, but this bartender clearly knows what she's doing.

This one's from back in March. Dude got a little handsy which I don't recommend.

I used to bartend. After dealing with drunks for hours, you need a drink yourself. And this is how they do it.

Maybe just step back sir. I think she's got this.

Of course there's a dude in an Ohio State shirt drinking a Mich Ultra. Wouldn't be St. Pete Beach without it. I'm from Ohio, this is how it is. They all wear Ohio State shirts everywhere they go. And they have an Ohio State polo that they keep nice for church. It's an odd place.

The tag on this says $100. Is the Upside Down Shot $100 or was there an extra charge for the slap? People are weird.
