Well-known acrobat asked to leave beach over thong ordinance, video goes viral.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Well-known acrobat and aerial performer Sam Panda was asked to leave the beach for violating the “thong ordinance,” and a video of her being handcuffed by police has gone viral.

Both Horry County and Myrtle Beach governments prohibit thong bathing suits under an ordinance about indecent exposure on the beach. This law has been in place for years and officers typically give a warning for the first offense.

Sam Panda, originally from Pittsburgh, is well known for miraculously surviving a fall in Bali during a performance when she broke her neck in several places and damaged her spine. The fall was filmed and Panda went viral by showing her strength and great attitude in a smiling photo from the hospital bed.

A recent video of Panda being handcuffed by a Myrtle Beach police officer and their lengthy discussion about her bathing suit was posted on her social media. She comments on the post, “A woman called the cops on me because of my bikini. That’s how this all started. Some Karen decided that my body was offensive to her and showed her child that her body could one day lead to her arrest.” Panda also used the hashtag “#cancelMyrtleBeach in her post.

After the ordinance was shown to Panda, she came into compliance and was permitted to leave the beach without further incident.

Myrtle Beach police said officers were initially called for a report of two women who were wearing thong bikinis and a see-through top, who were “dancing and soliciting videos on the beach.”

When officers arrived, they spoke with the women to advise them of the ordinance related to nudity. “One of the women attempted to walk away from officers and was detained,” the department reported.

Her bikinis were revealing...But, I have seen more revealing bikinis on Southern CA beaches...

Next time, she should just come to beaches in CA...She will not be harassed by any cop for the bikinis...

“I don’t feel it was revealing enough”. This comment is on behalf of a friend.

What is it about the American public and the need to force others to dress a certain way?The American public seem to have a fear of the human anatomy that European People Just don’t have.

Go to a European Beach and check out the woman there. They’re not only wearing the skimpiest of thong bikinis they are also strolling around topless without a care and the rest of the people there, even those with children don’t seem to give a damned.

I think American have to stop getting so sexually inhibited and worry about other more important things. Like will we still be a country in 20 years.

I love love love seeing all those cute little cheeks, but in reality, thongs do show too much skin for in-public wear. I have seen accidents by motorists staring at them along A1A. Thongs should also be by permit only.

I reserve the right to not comment very much on your post.

But I can not disagree.

Now if those were undies and some guy peeked at her she’d be screaming.

If she put a mask on where the thong was, then no arrest.

Video of the arrest here

She was prettier without the tatoos. But still not guilty.
