AUBURNDALE, Fla. (WFLA) – A Polk County man is behind bars after a deputy spotted him with a milk crate.
On Thursday just before 10 p.m. a PSCO deputy stopped two men on bikes. The deputy noticed that Timothy Troller, of Auburndale, had a dairy crate attached to his a purple Mongoose BMX bicycle.
The dairy crate had the business name of Sunshine State Dairy Farms clearly marked on the sides of the dairy crate. Troller claimed he found the crate on the side of the road and attached it to his bike.

The idiot should have only spoken Spanish to the cop and said he had no documentation.
Many such crates have clear statements of ownership, and state possession outside that ownership is theft.
Guess the cop didn’t have any lemonade stands to bust.
Precisely. Stolen property. Stop the sob stories.
OK, while I fully support the police, some of them are just being STUPID.
Meanwhile in the jungle...
I milk crate? Stolen property? Laughable. I see them on the side of thre road all the time.
A milk crate*
So, why be “heartless” and arrest petty criminals?
” ... what we’ve learned is, those who will go out an steal a milk crate, for example, are the same people who are probably breaking into cars, breaking into your house,” Horstman said.”
Sounds like stealing is a gateway crime. If somebody breaks into your house, they can be shot dead. Don’t want to die doing home invasion? Don’t start small with stealing milk crates.
OH MY LORD!
it is SO nice that we live in a nation of LAW
at least, for the little people who might find old milk crates alongside the road
of course, for HilLIARy, she’s collected a reported $200 million in apparently illegal money...from enemy dictatorships and all....for a “family charity” that reportedly only spends 6 percent outside the family...
but she’s not in prison, she’s headed for the White House.
seee.. equal justice under law!

Yes only in Polk County
What’s incredible to me is.. this is not satire.
“OK, while I fully support the police, some of them are just being STUPID.”
Sounds like you are not “fully” supporting the police, because they are simply enforcing the law — you get arrested for stealing/possessing stolen property.
“Thanks for picking up trash on the side of the road. You’re free to go.”
I hope the officer got to use his nightstick on the perp.
it sounds like a crazy place, but at least it tends to vote correctly

When I lived right on the beach in Virginia Beach, I walked out to the beach early one morning and noticed two milk cartons obviously abandoned by someone on the beach.
I have no idea where they came from but I took them back to the house. I still have them.
I have owned several guns which were marked “U.S. Property”. They were perfectly legal to own no matter what the printing said.
The cop should be successfully sued and then fired.
