CAN’T SPIN IT: Stephen Rodriguez Busted For Beer.
Stephen Cosgrove Rodriguez, 37, was taken into custody just before 9:30 p.m. near 2202 N. Federal Highway, outside Living Green Cafe. A Boca Raton Police report obtained by BocaNewsNow.com says two officers were on foot patrol in the area when they spotted Rodriguez walking westbound through the plaza with an alcoholic beverage in hand. When officers approached, Rodriguez set the beer — a 25-ounce can of Bud Light — down on the ground, police said.
Rodriguez was apparently identified through his Medical Marijuana Identification Card and Florida driver’s license. He was arrested and charged with violating Boca Raton City Ordinance Section 4-4, which bars anyone from drinking alcohol above one percent alcohol by volume on public streets, sidewalks, parks or beaches, or outside the confines of a retail establishment. Records list Rodriguez’s occupation as public relations, with an employer address at Granny Nannies in Boca Raton. Granny Nannies provides home healthcare for, well, grannies.
Rodriguez was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on $250 bond and released. He is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 13th. We’ll let you know if he issues a press release…
