Suspect Charged After Eating Pancakes in Roadway
On March 21st at 10:50 a.m., the Lakeland Police Department received a call about a man sitting in a crosswalk of the eastbound lanes of Memorial Boulevard and Brunnell Parkway. 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. Responding officers were unable to locate the subject and determined that he had left the area prior to their arrival.
A video of this incident was later posted on Facebook and shared in a message to the LakelandPD Facebook. In addition, several people tagged the video with his name, Kiaron Thomas, 21 years old.
The incident was followed up by the Neighborhood Liaison Officers on March 23rd and officers determined that he lived approximately 100 yards south of the intersection of the incident. Thomas was interviewed and he admitted that he did it as a prank.
Thomas’s actions prevented vehicles from moving and created an obstruction. Thomas was charged with: Placing an Obstruction in the Roadway and Disrupting the free flow of traffic and issued a court date of April 25, 2017.

Thanks Garment Care Pros at Southside Cleaners for mixing a little holiday humor with a safety message!
Even though it is from a few years back, it remains one of our favorite photos!
Our tree is so much brighter thanks to Aaron Hall.
It's perfect and means so much. Aaron stopped by the station yesterday afternoon and asked if he could hang an ornament on our tree. Absolutely! But the ornament could not have been more special; complete with a shiny badge and personalized on the back. #WeLoveIt
Motor Sergeant Mills happened to be nearby and wanted to offer thanks in return. He gave Aaron one of his personal Motor Unit challenge coins in appreciation.
Thank you Aaron for thinking of us! Santa, Aaron is definitely on the Nice List this year.
