LAKELAND, Florida (PNN) - June 2, 2012 - A Lakeland man was arrested early Wednesday morning with spitting on the sidewalk after he said he got into a heated argument with a pair of pig thug cops.
Joseph Stoiber was charged with spitting on a public sidewalk and released on $250 bond.
Stoiber, 28, said he was walking in his neighborhood near Florida Southern College around 2:30 a.m. when he was approached by pig thug cops at the corner of South Ingraham Avenue and Lexington Street.
"I'm an insomniac and honestly I like staying up later," said Stoiber.
Lakeland assistant thug cop chief Larry Giddons said a recent rash of burglaries have prompted pig thug cops to step up patrols in the area.
According to Giddons, the thug cops said Stoiber appeared to be loitering and under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and didn't provide a reasonable explanation when asked what he was doing in the area. He then refused an illegal request to be patted down - which, by law, is within his rights.
"He said, 'Can I pat you down,' and at that point I said, 'No, you cannot,’" said Stoiber, adding he does not use drugs or alcohol.
Stoiber said an argument ensued, and a terrorist cop then handcuffed him.
Stoiber, who was chewing snuff, leaned over to spit on the sidewalk, and was taken into custody.
"I bent over slightly into the grass area and spit slightly without any audible noise," Stoiber said. "The (terrorist pig thug cop) then looked at me and he asked me, 'Did you spit on the curb?' And I responded, 'Yes I did.'"
Giddons said terrorist officials plan to speak with the pig thug cop involved. Stoiber says he has hired an attorney to investigate possible legal action.
