St. Petersburg Man Argues With Police Saying “Meth Is Legal Now”
Methamphetamine also known as crystal meth
A man was caught by police attempting to light a glass pipe in an alleyway. He had an unusual excuse attempting to explain to the police why he was justified in being back there doing what he was doing.
Our friends at News Channel 8 covered this story.
The man is 31-year-old Enzo Cardozo. The incident happened on August 4th, and when police officers approached him he was allegedly putting the pipe to his lips and had a lighter in one of his hands.
Cardozo observed the officer looking at him. He reportedly told the officer, “meth is legal now.” Then he attempted to turn around and walk the other away.
Cardoza was correct about one thing. The substance in the pipe was tested by police, and they identified it as methamphetamine.
Meth is NOT legal and possession of it will get you arrested, which is what happened to Cardozo. He was also charged with resisting an officer without violence.

Grand Prix Tampa Fun Center Closes Permanently
It opened as Malibu Grand Prix the year I first moved to Tampa. With a race track and video games, it was the place to go for fun.
Grand Prix Tampa was previously known as Malibu Grand Prix or Castle Golf & Games. It featured the go-kart tracks, which I’ve driven plenty of times. I smelled a lot of fumes and burned a lot of rubber!
They once had a pool for bumper boats, but that was filled in for an additional track. The property also hosted two mini golf courses, batting cages and game rooms. It had its ups and downs over more than 40 years.
Now, developers have purchased the property for over $8 million. That leaves the area without a beloved place for recreation. They plan to build apartments on the site. Grand Prix Tampa‘s website has a message thanking their fans.
