According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff, there were a total of 107 arrests related to the Gasparilla celebration.
11 Felonies, most likely along the line of transporting live lobsters in plastic bags.
96 Misdemeanors, including 9 arrests for boating under the influence. I'm surprised there were only 9 boozing boaters. Of course, I wouldn't want to be in the middle of that pack of boats if I were stone-cold-sober. The rest were probably charges with words like "reckless" or "indecent" in the title.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Gasparilla, it is basically Tampa's own Mardi Gras. Beads and all. However, don't ask anyone what Gasparilla is about, because nobody really knows other than some vagueness about a mythical pirate. Mostly, it is the celebration of a purely invented legend, which provides the entire city with an excuse to get thoroughly tanked, and attempt to coerce the young lasses to reveal their baby feeders. |
