PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Largo man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly used a machete to threaten Pier 60 employees when he was told the bathrooms were closed.

Documents show Thomas Clement, 64, of Largo, was at a Pier 60 store in Pinellas County when he began to yell profanities at store workers. An arrest affidavit says Clement began yelling after store employees told him the bathroom was closed.

Clement, seated in a wheelchair, then pulled out a 12″ machete before waving it around as he threatened employees.

Several minutes later, Clement was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Bond was set at $250. Documents show alcohol may have played an influence in Clement’s actions.

‘Cause if you don’t go when you gotta go, when you get there you may find you’ve already gone

He came in with the machete before he even heard that. What was he carrying a machete for in the first place?

I admit it’s crossed my mind.

In all seriousness though I am sorry for the poor employees. Not their fault obviously.

'Cause you never know when a machete will come in handy.

Not given enough ketchup packets for your fries at McDonald's? Machete!

Told by a Popeye's employee that you no longer get extra biscuits with a large order of chicken wings? Machete!

Asked by an elderly librarian to please turn down the volume of your Boom Box? Machete!

You are so unimaginative!

Regards,
