A Florida Man threatened bartenders with a gun because it was time for the bar to close! “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here” and you definitely can’t pull out a gun!

Those actions landed the Lake County man behind bars. Read more on the story below and check out his mugshot.

Florida Man Threatened Bartenders With A Gun

That’s right, a Florida Man threatened bartenders with a gun because he didn’t want them to close for the night! According to FOX 35 Orlando, Carlton Lacey was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. The incident happened at Big Dog Saloon in Mount Dora around 2:15am. FOX 35 Orlando reports that two bartenders said Lacey allegedly pulled a gun on them after they informed him it was time for the bar to close. It’s been reported when he was told it’s time to go he responded, “Who needs to leave?” as he flashed his gun from his waistband, per FOX 35 Orlando.

That sounds scary! If I tell you it’s time to go and you flash a gun at me, I’m asking you what else you’d like. Another round? You want food? I can go back in the kitchen and make something? You good? The bartenders then had to ask him to leave another time and he flashed the gun at the other bartender. Lacey continued to threaten the bartenders and refusing to leave.

When officers responded to the scene, Lacey reportedly ran away. When they later found him, during a traffic stop he denied possessing a gun or threatening the bartenders, and officers were unable to find a gun inside his car or the area he ran off to when they arrived, per FOX 35 Orlando. He remains in custody.

You can see Lacey’s mugshot below. This is why they say nothing good happens after midnight! You never want to be around when employees are ready to close up.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
