A WANNABE rapper who allegedly downed plates of expensive seafood before jumping into the ocean at Main Beach yesterday has been granted bail in a Gold Coast court.

Terry Peck, 33, allegedly chowed down on two lobsters, a baby octopus, 21 oyster shots and drank a number of Coronas at Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant at Main Beach on Sunday evening to the tune of $620 before fleeing the restaurant.

When told of the quantity of food Peck had consumed, magistrate Joan White today commented incredulously: “Oh God, by himself”.

Peck faced Southport Magistrate’s Court this morning on two counts of obstructing police and one count of stealing.

After finishing his meal, Peck ran from the restaurant and was chased by staff before swimming 50m into the ocean near the lifeguard tower at Main Beach, the court heard.

After lifeguards were unable to retrieve Peck from the ocean, water police arrived.

However, Peck had to be retrieved by two police on a jetski after water police were unable to pull him from the sea about 5.30pm yesterday.

The court was told Peck then refused to get on the jetski and dived underwater to evade police.

The court heard Peck, who has a number of rap videos on his social media profile, was on parole at the time he allegedly committed the offences.

The duty lawyer also told the court Peck had been volunteering at a children’s charity.

He was granted bail on the condition he reside at a property in Labrador and not attend Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant while on bail.

I'm glad the water police intervened before the fire police attacked.

2 Lobsters
1 baby octopus
21 oyster shots
Lets just guess 12 coronas

$620


I think that is a bit pricey.

Depends on the size of the lobsters if the cost was per pound, and the type of oysters. This is assuming he didn't have any other sides or food not mentioned in the article.

The menu is pretty expensive. $28 for Spaghetti Bolognese?

Water police?

Lol, I think we found a bigger joke cop than the mountie.

regardless...when you go in and look at those prices and realize you can't pay it...you get up and leave, not say "its ok....I'll just escape into the ocean after dinner".....

"You can't just swim away from all your problems!"
That's where you're wrong, kid.

But then you have to leave after you sat down. How embarrassing!

Australia being an island with large population centres on the coastline kind of need water police. Because sometimes your tinny runs out of fuel and you need a tow back

This story made the news last night. They even filmed him being arrested.

http://www.9news.com.au/national/2017/04/10/13/42/man-runs-into-surf-during-alleged-dine-and-dash-on-the-gold-coast

The rapper claims he left the restaurant to help his friend, who was having a baby.

When Mr Peck couldn’t find his friend in labour, he said he went for a swim and lost his wallet in the waves.

The unemployed parolee said Omeros Brothers should apologise to him for “overpriced and overcooked” seafood.

Mr Peck since been charged with stealing and two counts of serious assault of a police officer.

They released the bill. $390 for two lobsters? Damn.

Dining alone, Peck allegedly consumed two whole lobsters, six oysters, four Coronas and a baby octopus. He also ordered 21 oyster shooters, a vodka cocktail similar to a bloody mary.

But he only consumed 15 manager Robert Rank reassured news.com.au when we contacted him.

This may go some way to explaining Peck subsequent alleged decision to run from the restaurant and swim 50 metres into the ocean off Main Beach, where he hid underwater for a time before being fished out by police on a jetski.

Peck faced Southport Magistrates Court this morning on two counts of obstructing police and one count of stealing. Informed of what he had eaten, Magistrate Joan White responded: Oh God, by himself?

Outside the court, Peck said he had run to the aid of a female friend who was about to have a baby on the beach but had mysteriously disappeared. He also said he was attempting to have a rap battle with Eminem but so far the US rapper had declined his invitations.
