A Pennsylvania man's wild night in Florida has led to his arrest after a series of bizarre acts, including molesting a manatee statue and littering a bar with gator nuggets. Anthony Michael Lessa, 23, saw his evening escalate into chaos last Friday at Rick's Reef on St. Pete Beach, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reported.
According to the NBC Miami, after being informed by employees that his bill had already been taken care of, Lessa became upset and was requested to quickly leave the establishment. His response was to allegedly "molest" a plastic manatee statue outside the bar. The sheriff's office detailed that after being confronted by an employee, Lessa began to aggressively throw gator nuggets around the restaurant's dining area before making an exit from the scene.
The disturbance did not end there. Lessa found a new stage at the nearby Postcard Inn, where he reportedly continued his unruly behavior. Local10 stated that guests and staff at the hotel were subjected to a volley of expletives from Lessa, who refused to depart when asked. The situation escalated to the point that law enforcement was called once again.
Caught on video, a deputy is heard asking, "What is that? Oh, that was the crap you had that you were throwing in the other restaurant," to which Lessa responded affirmatively, confirming the breadcrumb trail of his earlier outburst. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and, according to the sheriff's office, was later released from custody.
