Refusal to pay $5 cover charge at bar leads to violent outburst, arrest on multiple charges for former Florida defender
A former Florida defender’s refusal to pay a cover charge at a Gainesville bar resulted in an arrest and multiple charges.
WCJB TV 20 in Gainesville, Florida reports that former Gators defensive lineman Luke Ancrum was arrested Friday night after an incident at Fat Daddy’s, a bar near UF campus. According to the report, Ancrum was stopped by bouncers after he refused to pay a $5 cover charge.
Ancrum did not respond well to the bouncers. The report states he became angry and threw three dollars at the feet of the bouncers. Ancrum was then asked to leave and responded by throwing drinks at the bouncers punching one of them in the face.
The WCJB report states he wasn’t done. Ancrum then picked up a barricade outside the bar and threw it at a bouncer, leaving a cut more than an inch deep.
Ancrum, who played for UF from 2015 to 2019, is being charged with two counts of aggravated assault without intent to kill, aggravated battery and criminal mischief. He was booked into Alachua County Jail with a bond of $130,000, quite a step up from the $5 cover charge at the bar.
On the field, Ancrum recorded 37 tackles in 41 games (3 starts) in his UF career.
First: who is Luke Ancrum?
Second: Get your sh!t together. Pathetic.
Luke Acromonius? Just your typical UF player who learned everything he knows from his drama queen head coach.
Did you hear the one about a shoe and a barricade?
Rather go to jail than admit he only had 3 dollars in his pocket. Wow.
The bar needs bigger bouncers.
NO STRIPPERS… NO COVER CHARGE!
It’s supply and demand. If you want in, pay the cover. If not, go to Pizza Hut.
Do they make mentors who will work 24/7/ 365. Who can knock guys like this out in half a second. If not, they can’t go to college. Or anywhere in public.
To dishonor oneself for want of two dollars. Unbelievable.
What an idiot. How embarrassing for him. Fat Daddy’s? C’mon.
He voted for Biden and thought everything would be free.
He voted for Trump so he figured why not destroy the place.
Because the 2020 riots were Trump supporters! Bwahahahaha! Stop watching Rick Maddow.
Pretty sure he voted along with Maxine Waters on attacking, harassing, and getting in the face of anyone who disagrees with snowflakes.
Hilarious! And to think, if biden had just sent that 1400.00 free check, none of this would’ve even been necessary…
That’s the best post in quite some time
Is that all you do is try to make everything a political comment? Get some new material. I understand your man lost and you’re angry and lashing out but please try not to look so pathetic while doing it.
What is liberal Dukee doing here?
Maybe a penchant for unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are a predictor of future behavior. Don’t be stupid Marco.
Like throwing a shoe? Lol.
Luke Ancrum is blaming the world for being just a two-star recruit who did not make it to the NFL.
Personally I am wishing this young man the best. He is probably only 23 and could use a few good mentors. Sure what he did is wrong, but do you know his circumstances? Maybe a close friend just died? Don’t be so quick to judge… and if a few NFL Florida Gators could reach out to him and help him out… please do it. If any of you NFL Gators help him out and speak with him… Thanks. God bless.
Jerome, get a job.
AW. Nothin like a good college education for a shot at financial independence. When five bucks looks like big money, its hard to accept that maybe actually getting an education while on scholarship wasnt so bad after all. All that effort put into kinesiology, the study of….moving.
He was planning on a big night, gettin lucky on three bucks. And he has to give up his fun money at the door? No wonder he was upset.
First of all Biden would have paid the 5 dollars and had front seat at the stripper pole asking if he could sniff their hair.
Should have checked in with Hunter since he hired the strippers.
Yawl need to keep your deggum politics outta football………….jus say’n
Thanks all for one of the more entertaining threads in a while!
Waters and Maddow living rent free in your head! Problem is, not even the worst politician could save you the embarrassment of being a DJT admirer. Trust me that doesn’t make you the least bit imposing! Stop the steal! Haha
Stupid is as stupid does.
Another “Florida Man” article – kind of tame by “Florida Man” standards – at least he had his pants on! Never heard of him from a player standpoint, but I’m sure the GA boys will make some hay on his being a Gator!
