Anna Maria
• March 27, 100 S. Bay Blvd., trespass warning. A Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the Anna Maria Pier restaurant regarding a customer who left the restaurant without paying his bill. En route to the call, the deputy spotted the suspect and initiated a traffic stop. The suspect acted genuinely surprised, according to the report, saying he forgot to pay. The deputy reported the suspect was either under the influence or had a mental impairment, so he believed the suspect genuinely forgot to pay. The suspect was escorted back to the restaurant to pay his bill. The manager agreed with the deputy’s assessment, and did not press charges. However, the manager did not want the customer to return, so he was issued a trespass warning.
