Trucker Plows into Strip Club
A disgruntled trucker drove his semi truck into a strip club in Tampa, killing a man.
According to Fox 13 News, the trucker was escorted out of the Emperors Gentleman Club at some point in the early morning. He later returned in his semi to drive into a group of about a dozen people. Out of the group, he killed one and injured two others. The trucker apparently had an issue with another patron and was kicked out.
Watch Fox 13’s coverage of the story below:
“What the officers discovered was that after an altercation at the club, a 25-year-old white male subject exited the club, got into a vehicle and waited, lied in wait until the individual he had an altercation with exited the club,” Tampa Police Major Patrick Messmer told reporters.
The trucker suffered critical injuries from the crash, and is facing first degree murder, attempted murder and DUI manslaughter charges.
Major Messmer added, “The fact that somebody has to lose their life over a minor altercation inside of a club, and now somebody else is facing the rest of their life in prison, it’s very sobering and a very unfortunate incident.”
