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.

Shopping carts can cost anywhere from $90 to as much as $250 per cart. One here, one there. Pretty soon it adds up to real money.
Yup. You get it.
What would Sheriff Andy Taylor do if Barney arrested Gomer for having an illegal milk crate?
I found a truck mirror on the side of the road in front of my house. I took it and kept it.
If someone had posted a “lost mirror” ad, I would have phoned him.
Not quite the same thing as an abandoned vehicle which has a serial number, is registered by the county and has a title from the state.
Look at upstate NY; know why there are no dairy farms anymore? Farm after farm abandoned.
There’s no money in milk production. If you are a dairy and have to keep replacing missing crates...it would be a problem after a while.
they would never pull this crap with a black guy....but some white guy on a BICYLE gets thrown in jail....
Completely specious and ridiculous. Out of respect to a fellow Freper, I won’t use other words.
A car parked on the side of the road is entirely different from a freaking milk crate. People don’t accidentally abandon their car on the side of the road. Some people do just toss milk crates out on the road (it’s called littering).
Come back when you have a cogent argument.
I never said he should keep it. Just confiscate it and thank him for recovering the property. Makes no sense to tie up the jail and court system for a case that will get thrown out for lack of evidence.
What next? Dept.of Homeland Security breaks bedroom door down over an expired library card?
Don’t you dare make sense on this thread.
Conversely, those who steal millions by creating a false foundation for the poor, giving 5 percent to the poor but keeping the bulk for themselves, lying to the FBI, making enemies disappear in supposed "suicides", started out with small crimes but were never held accountable.
If the cops didn't nab this guy, just think, he could've gone on to run for president someday.
Ah sorry. Lost my head.
Bull crap.
Jail the filthy milk crate litterer too.
Same level of stupidity.
Separate punishments would be an even higher level of stupidity. If it’s a requirement to jail people who pick up then leaving the litter by the side of the road is entrapment. It’s proper that the milk crate litterer be punished at least as much as someone who picks up after him.
What’s incredible to me is.. neither are the jackbooters on this thread.
Only applies if your last name is not Clinton.
How much longer should his rap sheet get before consequences kick in?
