How a Dine and Dash Turns into a 3-Year Prison Sentence

Описание: On the evening of April 6, 2025 in Clearwater, Florida, an officer was dispatched to the Wyndham Grand Hotel about a trespassing. The night before, a man had been at their restaurant and committed a dine and dash after ordering filet mignon and Sierra Mist. He’d returned to the hotel today, and management wanted him gone. After the officer confronted him, he'd run, but he wouldn't get too far, and when the officers searched the bag he had with him, they found 3 firearms and 126 rounds of ammunition.
