On March 21, officers with the Lakeland Police Department were notified of a man eating pancakes in the middle of the intersection of Memorial Boulevard and Brunnell Parkway.
According to LPD, “the caller stated the subject was sitting in a chair with a small “TV” table in front of him eating what appeared to be pancakes.”
Officers were able to locate the man after he was tagged in a video that later surfaced on Facebook. The pancake eater, 21-year-old Kiaron Thomas, was found in his residence, which was only about 100 yards from the intersection.
Though Thomas told officers it was a prank, he was charged with placing an obstruction in the roadway and disrupting the free flow of traffic.
Thomas has a court date set for April 25, 2017.
