ENGLEWOOD, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida man was arrested Tuesday for using a sledgehammer to steal over $800 from a laundromat.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said around 10:45 on May 8 Michael Justin Rowe, 32, and Taylor Marie Farrell, 34, went into a laundromat. Pictures show Rowe was wearing an ape mask and holding a sledgehammer.

Rowe used the sledgehammer to smash a coin change machine, taking about $800 from it, deputies said.

Meanwhile in video not released by the sheriff’s office, Farrell can be heard yelling “We got to go. You’ve been in here too long,” to Rowe before the pair drove off in a blue Mercury Marquis.

I renew my call for common-sense sledgehammer control.

Can the owner of the business sue the manufacturer of the sledge hammer? Seems to be the legal choice for those involved in gun crimes.

When she told him, "we gotta Bounce", she was referring to their laundry, your honor.

I’m actually surprised they still allow ape masks to be sold since the left thinks that statues of apes and even the term monkeypox are “racist”.

The Mercury Marquis is a model line of automobiles that was marketed by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company from the 1967 to 1986 model years.

Most likely a Grand Marquis which was produced until Mercury’s demise around 2009.

They should have done this in New York city. In Florida they actually enforce the law.
