Florida man steals $160 in lap dances arrested

A 39-year-old man named John Elberson was arrested in Florida for allegedly stealing lap dances at a strip club. The incident occurred on March 11 at Reign Ladies and Gentlemen's Club in Clearwater. Elberson reportedly enjoyed several lap dances but then told the staff he did not have enough money to pay the $160 bill. He left the club without paying. Police found Elberson at his home in Apollo Bay about ten minutes later. A police report stated that he seemed to be under the influence of alcohol but had not used drugs. He was charged with petty theft for not paying for the services he received. Elberson spent around 12 hours in jail before being released by the Pinellas County Circuit Court without needing to post bond. His girlfriend, Brittney Parks-Hutchinson, first expressed anger about the situation on social media but later posted a picture of them together, indicating they had reconciled. Reign Ladies and Gentlemen's Club has advertised itself as the largest club in Clearwater, boasting a large dance floor and VIP areas. The club is popular for events like St. Patrick's Day and New Year's Eve.
