Deputies: Sub Shop Rager Had Pot in Underwear

A man who went on a rampage at a Holiday sub shop was later found to be hiding marijuana in his underwear, New Port Richey Patch reports.

After Robert William Schulz, 52, was asked to leave the Great Subs restaurant on U.S. 19, Pasco County authorities say he began throwing items around the establishment and punching the soda fountain. He also grabbed a table and pulled up on it, causing it to “break free” from the floor and wreaking $250 worth of damage, according to the arrest report.

After he was booked into the Land O' Lakes jail, Schulz reportedly took a bag of pot out of his underwear and handed it to a deputy, telling him that he "forgot" to report it as contraband.

Schulz is charged with possession of marijuana, introduction of contraband and criminal mischief.
