Tourists arrested in police scuttle at toppers

Sounds like a couple with issues.....

Can’t make this one up!!! Would love to see the videos!! 😳🤪

The videos are crazy! These two were out of control.

love to see them. Links?

Crazy is right! “I’m from Jersey” 😂😂😂😂

Just got out of prison and is a gangsta! LOL

Maybe they're long time members of TTOL? That would make for a great thread.

Mercy me. Kim is right--you can't make this stuff up!!

Wow! Some people just shouldn't be let out of their cages. Maybe now they will have nice cages in St. Maarten to spend time in. I somehow doubt they will be allowed to leave the country until the cases have been dealt with by the court.

Not really surprised. We were there about a month ago briefly for karaoke and quite a few totally drunk people hanging around falling all over everyone. I know they make money selling alcohol but it’s Sad they allow that to go on. IMO

Ideally, they would never be allowed to return to the island after this incident. Does Sint Maarten have a persona non grata list, as some other islands do?

With regard to a persona non grata list, as I recall, the fellow who made bomb threats to PJIA and was arrested for same has been allowed back on island since then, so if SXM has such a thing, it's not very effective..

Lovely. 😕

On behalf of my wife and me, I would like to offer a formal apology for our behavior at Topper’s the other night. We understand our actions may have caused embarrassment to our family, friends, and fellow TTOL members. We promise in the future we will do our best to limit that type of behavior to visits to Mexico.

Good one!

I should have known it was you two!

Maybe they were disappointed with their meals. After all, many of us feel the food here is overrated, including you Scubaman. But, for the life of me how do you get this drunk? Even when they have two-for one's at the Perch Bar & Grill I might get a little buzzed but I don't run behind the bar in my underwear breaking glasses. Of course, I'm not wearing any underwear at the Perch! Hope there's a follow-up article to this calamity!

I want to see the videos that are floating around.

Do we need to start a Go Fund Me for Scubaman??

Not for me. I jumped bail and on the run. Still looking for my shirt.

Wow!!! Idiots!!! Sure would love to see the videos.

OHHHH this should have made it to the Maury show!!!!LOL!!!!

It might yet, LOL!

Is there a link to the videos?

Update from the Daily Herald today. Link

I guess they are sobered up by now.... From what I have heard, those cells in P'burg are not too comfortable..

They deserve everything they get and more.

The videos are basically two really drunk and half naked people squirming on the ground and then resisting getting in the car. Not pretty. Neither the situation nor the people.

Oh and one where the girl has just kicked the poor guy in his nether regions and then gets out and runs through traffic to the other side of the street.

Another story in the Daily Herald today. Link

still don't see any videos....

The couple really messed up but in my hometown when a customer is that intoxicated it is a law that the bartender stop serving more alcohol or else the bartender and business are liable if the drunk customer drives and kills someone.

It's all money to Topper.

The folks at fault are the couple who behaved badly. It's called personal responsibility. You act like idiots, you pay the price.

Bartenders have a responsibility too.

Is your home town in St. Martin?

Here are the videos.

Thanks for these videos. What a couple of belligerent idiots. Makes you wonder how they ever got through customs and immigration at the airport. Whatever sentences they get will be very much deserved, but I hope fines will also be applied or the damages they caused.

That video says it all. Low class tourists traveling to St. Maarten. Time to move to St. Barts. Years ago traveling was expensive and tourists like this could not afford to travel on the cheap.

what an embarrassment to tourists (especially U.S.) all over the world. What a joke to imply that the police used excessive force, to the contrary I thought they showed a lot of reserve. Hopefully these 2 chuckleheads will be banned from the country for a long time.

"Time to move to St. Barts. Years ago traveling was expensive and tourists like this could not afford to travel on the cheap".

Please explain what you mean by this statement...Lower income, alcoholics, no common sense, rabbit hole seakers??

Maybe it's just me but I think travel years ago was actually cheaper than it is now

It was a joke. I love SXM and would never go back to St. Barts. The couple were probably not low income or alcoholics.
Many tourists over indulge on vacation. If this couple were alcoholics they would not have lost control like they did.
If you go to SXM on vacation it is expensive and you would have to have some income to afford the trip. No common sense is another issue all together. Let’s lighten up and let this go.

It's the Darwin connection.

Update.

They got off fairly easily 😡

Slap on the wrist for assault and battery with intent to injure a Policeman?
Sounds about right.

Damn, and I was hoping it was some late 70's or early 80's year old WASP couple from North New Jersey. That would have been entertaining.

Banned for 3 years. Such lovely young Millennials.

2 more wannabe gangsters, should have been jailed and lifetime ban to SXM.

They got off easy... if I can say it here...skum bags. The good people of St Maarten dont deserve this type of tourists.

OK, not directed at anyone in particular, I think this one has run it's course.
