    This Tampa treasure dodged a bullet for sure.
    Perhaps Rudman couldn't rise to the occasion?

    In dramatic surveillance video released by the Tampa Police Department on Tuesday, a man can be seen walking toward the door of the club, Mons Venus, early Sunday morning wearing a red "devil mask." He wielded a flashlight in one hand and a fully loaded 9 mm handgun in the other, according to police.
    He also had the words "kill" and "darkk [sic] one" on his arms, police said.

    Here's the guy's booking info and charges. He was booked at Tampa General Hospital. Charge #3 means he was under a current an order for risk protection (out of Pinellas County) at the time, so he couldn't legally possess a firearm According to the Motion for Pretrial detention filed by the SAO, he left his car running in the parking lot and had a fully loaded Glock 9 mm along with 3 17 round magazines. One magazine only had 7 rounds, the other two were at full capacity. This could have been really bad, kudos to that bouncer.

    He also had 9 knives in his car supposedly. :eek:
    At 320 lbs isn't it tough to see your own junk?

    Speaking of junk, can you imagine the special
    'attention' these security guards will get? ;););)

    This is even creepier. The guy was on bond on a felony charge out of Pinellas County. That arrest affidavit reads as follows, pay attention to the last sentence:

    "The undersigned swears that helshe has reasonable grounds to believe that the above named defendant on the 05 day of OCTOBER .
    2022
    at approximately 2:35 PM h ,at 201 S. GLENWOOD AVE (CREST LAKE PARK) .in Pineuas County did:
    WHOEVER, WITHOUT LAWFUL AUTHORITY, KNOWINGLY OR RECKLESSLY TAKES OR ENTICES, OR AIDS, ABETS, HIRES, OR OTHERWISE PROCURES
    ANOTHER T0 TAKE OR ENTICE, ANY MINOR OR ANY INCOMPETENT PERSON FROM THE CUSTODY OF THE MINOR'S 0R INCOMPETENT PERSON'S
    PARENT, HIS OR HER GUARDIAN, A PUBLIC AGENCY HAVING THE LAWFUL CHARGE OF THE MINOR OR INCOMPETENT PERSON, OR ANY OTHER
    LAWFUL CUSTODIAN, TO WIT:
    ON 10/05/2022 AT APPROXIMATELY 1435 HOURS, THE DEFENDANT ARRIVED IN THE AREA OF CLEARWATER HIGH SCHOOL IN HIS VEHICLE BEARING
    FLORIDA REGISTRATION: ESN-D72 (2013 TOYOTA TACOMA, 4-DOOR, SILVER IN COLOR) IN ATTEMPTS OF LOOKING FOR 16 YEAR-OLD JUVENILE MALE
    (VICTIM) (REDACTED). THE DEFENDANT FOLLOWED THE PATH (IN HIS VEHICLE) OF HOW THE VICTIM WALKS HOME AND WAS ABLE TO
    LOCATE THE VICTIM BY CREST LAKE PARK (CLEARWATER FL). UPON SIGHT OF THE DEFENDANT, THE VICTIM IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED HIM AND
    FLED ON FOOT INSIDE 0F THE PARLLHE DEFENDANT TRAVELED WESTBOUND 0N GULF TO BAY BLVD. TOWARDS S. GLENWOOD AVE. TO WHERE
    THE‘DEFENIANT RE—LOCATED THE VICTIM. THE DEFENDANT THEN EXITED HIS VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO APPROACH THE VICTIM, COMING WITH
    APPROXIMATELY 4 FEET OF THE VICTIM. THE VICTIM TOOK OFF RUNNING TOWARDS FRANKLIN AVE. PROCEEDING WESTBOUND. THE DEFENDANT
    RE-ENTERED HIS VEHICLE AND CONTINUED FOLLOWING THE VICTIM, ATTEMPTING TO GET HIM lNTO THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED
    FOLLOWING THE VICTIM TO HIS RESIDENCE AT 1295 SANTA ROSA ST. CLEARWATER, FL. THE VICTIM RECORDED THIS INCIDENT WITH HIS CELLULAR
    PHONE DURING THE ENTIRE TIME. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S FRIEND, LATER IDENTIFIED AS PATRICIA SWING, WAS ALSO
    IN THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE (RIGHT REAR SEAT) DURING THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, STATING THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS FOLLOWING THE
    VICTIM. ATI'EMPTING TO GET HIM INTO THE VEHICLE. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT AT HIS RESIDENCE. UPON SPEAKlNG WITH THE
    DEFENDANT, HE ADMITI'ED TO FOLLOWING THE VICTIM AND SAID THE TWO OF THEM HAD AN “IDEALISTIC BOND."

    While he was being transported to jail, he kicked the female transport deputy several times. The state only filed the battery on a LEO charge and they are moving to revoke his bond.

    Been a long time since I’ve been there but no good place to hide (another reason I haven’t been there;)).
    Would have been really bad. OTOH he looked blotto drunk he might have gone to the ground fast. Glad they took care of it first

    Am I reading that right? He got out on a $2500 bond, or does "zero bond" mean he can't get out?

    No sound on the video I watched. There appeared to be a puff of smoke when the bouncers were taking the perp down. Did the gun maybe go off?

    Perp tried to shoot up a club and got a darn good pistol whippin' instead. Great job by the bouncer, who may have saved several lives.

    His CRA (probable cause affidavit) (IMO, it doesn't state probable cause for the aggravated battery and barely gets there for the aggravated assault.):
