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.

Hideous.

But she does seem excited about being handcuffed.

She is definitely a backpack full of Daddy issues...

But, all her naughty bits were covered. Still not seeing an issue requiring a law much less an arrest over said “law”.

If she had just claimed to be a protester it would have been OK.

This is what happens when you hire people to be cops who don’t know how to read.

One of my few regrets about getting older is that I won’t be around to see how these women look when they’re 60 and be able to say I told you so.

I have a niece who is in early 30s and is covered with ink. And it’s a mishmash of totally unconnected crap.

Fortunately, in a manner of speaking, she is a crazy psycho who we consider to be potentially dangerous, so we have nothing to do with her anymore. Which suits us.

On another note, both my daughter and wife chastised me bar for using the word thong. They said it dated me to the 80s. So what are they calling them now?

They call them cheeky bikinis now. They're really no different than the thongs of the past years, the cheeky's might have just a slight bit more material along the waistline. They're pretty standard now everywhere, I live in the Florida panhandle region and they're everywhere there. I was in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and they're everywhere there too. There aren't many tourists in Hawaii because of the quarantine so it's mostly locals on the beach and they were all wearing them. The guy who said Hawaiian local girls are all tatted up is correct, most of them are covered in tattoos and it's unattractive. Native hawaiian women aren't usually the most attractive anyway, they tend to be short and pudgy. Few look like the hula girls you see in the travel brochures.
