A Thomasville man was arrested and charged in Florida after allegedly driving into a crowd of people at a strip club, according to Tampa police.
Officers said on Aug. 13 they responded to reports of a truck vs. pedestrian crash in the parking lot of the Emperor's Gentlemen's Club in Tampa. They found the truck near the edge of the parking lot.
Bystanders said the driver, 25-year-old Dylan Fogle of Thomasville, NC, had been kicked out of the club and came back to drive the truck into people standing at the club entrance.
