Clearly Tony Joiner Doesn’t Talk to Frank Tolbert
Posted by rtmsf on October 2nd, 2007This is too good to be true, and yet it is absolutely true…
A senior defensive back for the Florida Gators is facing burglary charges, just days before Florida’s showdown with #1 LSU. Gainesville Police arrested Earl “Tony” Joiner, 21, early Tuesday morning outside a towing yard. Investigators say Joiner was trying to get his girlfriend’s car out of Watson’s Towing on SW 1st Street. Witnesses told police a man pushed open the heavy gate surrounding the fenced yard, which was not open at the time. The man got into a car and tried to drive away without paying the $76 towing bill. A police officer heard the suspect, identified as Joiner, tell someone on a cell phone, “I am probably about to go to jail, cuz I did push the gate open.”
Paging Frank Tolbert… you might wanna give your SEC comrade a few tips on the art of automobile retrieval. Such as…
- Show up drunk at the towing compound in the middle of the night.
- Climb fence.
- Retrieve car.
- Drive car through fence.
Joiner did none of these things correctly, and now he’s facing felony burglary charges.
