It will never cease to amaze me when TV personalities do things that will obviously get them arrested, and most likely dethroned. Here’s a story on local FOX13 Tampa Anchor Russell Rhodes after his little escapade on Friday night, “non-violently” interacting with a Tampa Police officer at Channelside.
What kind of moron does that? His life is spent in front of the camera. He’s one of the faces of Tampa Bay. Not only has he ruined his own life (and career) by being a drunken bonehead, but he’s now made Tampa look bad. Shame on you, Russell Rhodes.
To top it off, I dunno how “non-violent” this takedown was. I mean, I’ve fallen on my face. I’ve had interactions with police, bullies, bouncers, you name it. Even on my worst days, I don’t recall coming out of it with my face looking like hamburger.
Full text of article here, incase they pull it:
TAMPA – FOX 13 morning anchor Russell Rhodes was arrested Friday night and charged with obstructing or opposing an officer without violence. The incident happened in the parking garage at Channelside.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s spokesman J.D. Callaway says that Rhodes repeatedly walked away from an off-duty deputy and refused to surrender his keys.
Callaway told FOX 13 that Rhodes was then injured as the deputy “took him to the ground and cuffed him.”
Rhodes was released from the Orient Road Jail Saturday morning on $500 bond.
FOX 13 management is aware of the matter and is reviewing it.
