TAMPA, Fla. – One Florida man found out the hard way, that robbing someone and trying to run, and swim from the cops, isn’t going to work.
Your Tampa Department Aviation, Marine, Dive, and Patrol teams worked together to catch a fleeing robbery suspect.
According to police, around 8 AM Saturday, October 1, a woman was robbed in the parking lot of a hotel on N. Westshore Blvd when a suspect snatched her wallet and ran.
Witnesses saw him flee to Cypress Pointe Beach, which is where officers located him.
To avoid an arrest, he entered the water and began to swim about 200’ offshore.
After several minutes, Dewayne Dean, 32, surrendered and was taken into custody.
Not familiar with the area. How far is his targeted destination anyway ?
Tie a hundred dollar bill to a cinder block. Tie the cinder block to the thief. Let him swim. Problem solved. Message delivered.
If he would have just swam another 11 miles 5080 feet he would have gotten away.
nevermind, it should be nautical miles: 12 nautical miles - 200ft.
“This is an official Law Enforcement Watercraft!
Hand us that Lady’s wallet you stole first, then we just might pull you out of the water. Deal?”...../sarc
Of course, it was a “Dewayne”. Probably trying to fund his college tuition.
ROFL!!!
What, no bicycle?
...around 8 AM Saturday, October 1, a woman was robbed in the parking lot of a hotel on N. Westshore Blvd when a suspect snatched her wallet and ran.
He tried to tampa with her belongings, now he'll pay the price, possibly with a stolen credit card.
Kudos to Florida cops for showing up.
LAPD would have shown up after a couple of hours and taken a report to be filed. Donuts are on special.
Thank you, just too funny!
