An Australian rapper who calls himself “2pec” is in trouble after skipping out on a $621 bill at a seafood restaurant, being chased into the ocean and retrieved by police on jet skis. If that last sentence didn’t make you want to hear more, then this story is not for you.
An Australian rapper called ‘2pec’ skipped a $621 bill and had to be arrested in the ocean by jet-skiing police
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Thirty-three-year-old Terry Peck sat down for a nice meal at Omeros Bros Restaurant in the Gold Coast, where he ordered two lobsters, 17 oyster shooters, and a baby octopus before becoming upset at his $621 bill. Peck claimed his lobsters were overcooked, there was a piece of shell in one of his oyster shooters, and the restaurant’s prices were too high — which he felt justified making a break for it. He ran onto the beach while being chased by restaurant staff, and eventually out into the ocean.
When police arrived they didn’t have the means to retrieve the man, so they worked with local lifeguards to be taken out into the surf on jet skis to bring him back to land. Eventually, Peck was charged with two counts of serious assault of a police officer, and banned from the restaurant for life. The judge in the case couldn’t believe the meal the man ordered, according to Australia’s ABC News.
“Oh God! By himself?” she exclaimed when told how much the bill amounted to.
Peck claims he has good reason for running away from the restaurant, and if you’re thinking it’s going to be weird as hell, well, you’re right. The man claims he had to leave before paying because he needed to help his friend who was giving birth on the beach — but says police arrested him before he could find her.
Peck is now in serious trouble after being released from prison in February. His lawyer told the court he has a serious problem with alcohol, which contributed to the incident.
I desperately tried to find video of 2pec’s music for you to hear, and just when I was about to give up I found an entry from a 2012 song contest in which Terry Peck submitted the song “Let’s Get Drunk Lets Get Fuuuucked Up lol : ) PARTY!!” Yes, that’s the full title. The video does contain explicit images, so advanced warning — it’s also one of the worst songs in the history of human existence.
