While regular citizens call 911 during life-threatening emergencies, this Florida drug dealer reports to the police for backup in his illegal business trade. Over the weekend, Eric Thomas contacted his home town police station in reference to a theft. He resides in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. The station recalls the unusual call from the Florida drug dealer as he states, “he was selling marijuana, and someone stole $10 from him while attempting to sell it.”
While reporting the theft, Thomas had 11 baggies of pot in his hands- which is equivalent to 40 grams of marijuana. Currently, in Florida it is still illegal to posses marijuana with the intent to sell it. Officer Ricardo Morales states that Thomas, “made spontaneous statements about getting robbed while attempting to sell the marijuana.”
Two baggies were found in his wallet that contained were filled with a white powdery substance, while officers were conducting a post-arrest search. This substance was later found to test positive for cocaine.
This has not been the first time that police officers have ran into some unusual encounters with Thomas. Within the past year, he was convicted of marijuana, cocaine, and battery counts. Thomas also has a pending case where he was accused of possessing seven baggies of marijuana. When arriving to the court security checkpoint, Ziploc baggies were found when he emptied his pockets. Security discovered the accused baggies when he placed the baggies into the plastic trays.
Thomas was charged with various drug felonies and booked into the Pinellas county jail. His bond is set for $7000 and he remains at the county jail at this time.
St. Pete Beach Bar Has Bikini Clad Servers Hanging Upside Down Serving Shots
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’.
