Florida Man Arrested For Lap Dance Heist
Cops: Suspect, 39, stiffed strip club for gyration ministrations
MARCH 13--A man has been arrested for a lap dance heist, police report.
According to a criminal complaint, John Elberson, 39, unlawfully obtained “the property of another, to wit: lap dances, of the value of 
$160.”
Florida cops charge that the lap dances were “the property of Reign Ladies and Gents,” a Clearwater establishment that promises visitors “an atmosphere of opulence and grandeur” and where “every corner of our venue radiates an air of exclusivity.”
Elberson allegedly received several lap dances around 1:30 AM Tuesday, but when presented with the tab, he “notified the business that he did not have the funds to pay for” the gyration ministrations.
“He received $160.00 worth of services,” reported Deputy Sarah Lazzar, who noted that Elberson displayed an “indication of alcohol influence.”
Charged with misdemeanor theft, Elberson (seen above) spent 12 hours in jail before a judge released him on his own recognizance and ordered the Apollo Beach resident to stay away from Reign’s opulence and exclusivity.
In November, a Pennsylvania man was similarly charged for allegedly stiffing a Reign service provider for $40. (1 page)
