You know those stories that get better and better with each detail? This is one of those stories, right here. HAPPY MONDAY FROM US.
An aspiring rapper has faced a Gold Coast court after allegedly chowing down $620 worth of seafood at a Main Beach restaurant before doing a runner into the ocean, where he was consequently arrested by police on friggin’ jet skis. JET SKIS.
Terry Peck, 33, enjoyed a smorgasbord of seafood, including two lobsters, a baby octopus, 21 vodka oyster shots (!!!!) and bulk Coronas at the popular Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant before trying to evade the bill.
He faced Southport Magistrates Court on two counts of obstructing police and one count of stealing this morning and, when told of the sheer amount he consumed, magistrate Joan White replied: “Oh God, by himself”.
After having his fill of the ocean’s grub, it’s alleged Peck bolted from the beach-front restaurant and dove straight into the water, swimming out about 50m.
He was fished out by two cops on a jetski after water police failed to pull him out, with Peck initially diving underwater to evade police (real duck-like).
Peck faces two counts of obstructing police and one count of stealing but was granted bail on the condition he stay well away from Omeros Bros.
Our question: didn’t his parents ever tell him about the wait-20-mins-after-you-eat-to-swim rule?
