Upcoming Rapper Jumps Into The Ocean To Avoid Restaurant Bill

    Lifeguards took two police officers out on jet skis to pursue Terry Peck, 33 an aspiring rapper who fled without paying his hefty bill of A$621 (£375) after eating a meal at a seafood restaurant in Australia,and when he refused to return to land, they arrested him the water.

Peck, who performs under the name 2pec, is believed to have ordered two lobster mornays, 21 oyster shooters, a baby octopus and Corona beers, and then charged into the sea to avoid capture.

At a hearing at Southport magistrates court on Monday Peck was charged with stealing and two counts of seriously assaulting a police officer.

Peck claims he left the restaurant as he’d received a phone call from a friend telling him she had gone into labour on the beach, and he was rushing down to help.

He was granted bail and ordered to return to court on May 4.
After leaving court Peck told waiting reporters: “The lobster was a bit overcooked.”

Mark Hunnybun, assistant manager at the Omeros Bros restaurant, refuted the claim, telling ABC: “We cook our lobsters perfectly here — we pride ourselves on cooking our lobsters perfectly,”
