A homeless Florida man hopped onto a stranger’s yacht in Miami and refused to leave — telling cops he was holding it for his “friend” President Trump, wild police bodycam footage shows.
“I don’t have to [go],” he tells the cops. “I’m a veteran of the United States Army, and I’m here to protect Donald Trump.
“I’m a part of the Hell’s Angels which protects the United States government, and I protect the president as well,” he says while calmly lacing up his shoes.
When cops asked him what he was doing on the luxury vessel, Roberts, who is homeless, said he was “holding it for a friend,” according to footage posted by the City of Miami Police Department on Thursday.
“This boat belongs to Donald Trump. You need to call him,” the man tells officers.
The cops ask if he’d leave the boat to call the commander-in-chief to confirm, but Roberts refused to get out of his seat.
Terry Eugene Roberts Jr., 51, was found lounging on the yacht docked on the Miami River enjoying a beverage and munching on a bag of chips, prompting the boat’s owner to call police and report a “crazy” man was onboard and being threatening, according to the video and a police report.
He refused, saying only Trump could remove him from the vessel. He was placed in handcuffs.
Roberts told officers he was responsible for protecting several yachts in the area, according to a police report obtained by The Post.
The suspect was charged with criminal mischief, trespassing, petty theft and resisting an officer without violence.
He had been wanted for allegedly stealing a motorcycle two days before the yacht incident, police said.

Well, he looks like an intelligent enough chap. 😏

Ping!
That DeSantis will do anything to get attention from Trump. 😃
Did he answer to the name of “Tiger Woods”?
He’s got Moxy, for certain.
There are some people, who can look you straight in the eye and tell you the most outlandish kind of lie, and for maybe a nanosecond, the listener has to search for logical reasons not to believe this person.
Of course, he’s delusional and/or just a lying leech, but it’s good the police were there to take him away. What’s to stop him from returning, though?
Seems like he’s “got nothing left to lose”, to quote Janis Joplin.
Awwwwww, c’mon, he looks OK to me.
Just tell him Pete Hegseth wants him over t’ the Hormuz Straight.
Lol! Magical thinking lives on!
Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry...
Hmm...I guess they COULD remove him from the vessel.
Beat him with a stick until he decides that he would prefer to leave.
Come on. Plenty of folks out there like that. How many-5 cops? Too many resources spent on him. Just throw him in the water and fish him out. Broadcast it so that there will be fewer of them acting out.
Wasn’t that scenario in “Failure To Launch” starring Matthew McConaughey?.........
This country really does need to bring back mental institutions instead of allowing the mentally ill to roam freely among the general population.
It really would be the best safety scenario for everyone.
Never saw that flick.
One of the few McConaughey movies I haven’t seen.
Word to the wise, if you haven’t seen his movie “Killer Joe”.....don’t bother.
Every actor makes a bomb every now and then................
I’d like to see that kind of commitment by President Trump’s current SS protection team.
Well, he accomplished that goal. 😁
He is abut as lucid as our previous Vice President Otto Penn.
What happened to the motorcycle?
