Florida Keys Morning Bar Crawl Escalates Into Arrest After Truck Crashes Into Bar
Key West, Florida — A routine morning outing took a dramatic turn late last year when body-camera footage captured a chaotic confrontation involving a couple outside a Key West bar, culminating in their arrest by local law enforcement. The incident, which has since been widely viewed online, unfolded in the early hours after a day of drinking and disagreement.YouTube
According to the Law & Crime BodyCam video, the disturbance began when Kimberly Robins, 47, and her husband Charles Lambert, 41, were seen arguing just outside a Key West bar and liquor store. Witnesses reported hearing the couple in a heated dispute before the situation rapidly deteriorated.YouTube
The situation escalated dramatically when Robins reportedly got into a pickup truck and drove into the side of the bar, causing property damage and drawing immediate attention from bystanders and responding officers. Details published with the video indicate that prior to the crash, the couple had been consuming alcohol, and the argument intensified as tensions rose.YouTube
Florida Keys authorities arrived on scene shortly after the collision. Body-worn camera footage shows Robins being confronted by law enforcement as she stood near the damaged vehicle, visibly emotional and struggling to maintain composure. Officers attempted to control the scene and take her into custody.YouTube
Once in custody, Robins is reported to have continued to resist arrest, including spitting at a deputy and exhibiting uncooperative behavior at the Key West jail. Local reporting indicates she was subjected to field sobriety and breathalyzer tests, which she failed, and was later booked on multiple charges, including felony battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and DUI-related misdemeanors. Her husband Lambert was also charged with a misdemeanor battery offense.ESPN Southwest Florida
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that both individuals were incarcerated pending further legal proceedings. The unusual nature of the early-morning bar crawl and subsequent events has drawn significant attention on social media, where discussions about public intoxication, responsible drinking, and the dangers of impaired driving have followed.ESPN Southwest Florida

A Florida bartender has uploaded security footage of a woman tossing a drink at her apparently because a bug had flown inside it.
The short video clip has gone viral and garnered over a million views after it was shared by the bartender, who goes by the Tiktok handle @teamhellathick, on 20 December.
“Karen was mad a bug flew in her drink… on the beach… and now im wearing a margarita (sic),” the bartender said in the caption to the TikTok video.
The security footage showed an unidentified woman standing across the bartending table and talking to a man in a blue shirt beside her, who, the bartender said in subsequent videos, was her manager.
Just as the two were talking, the woman in black clothes can be seen tossing her drink at the bartender, who jumped back as she was taken by surprise at the woman’s actions.
The woman then picked up two other drinks and started walking away while the manager followed her and other bystanders watched the incident with surprise.
The bartender also uploaded a series of follow-up videos to answer her followers’ questions.
She explained that it was a usual day at work at the bar which is “literally on the beach” and that she had made the drink for the woman.
She said the woman went back to the beach with the drink and returned 10 minutes later to complain about the bug.
“I know what exactly it was, meaning they come from the dunes. She had the drink on the beach and a bug flew in it. It wasn’t in when I made it for her,” she said.
“So she lifts up the drink when she didn’t hear what she wanted to hear, and looks like she is going to throw it at my manager and my manager is like: you wanna do that. She just looks at me and throws it at me,” she recalled.
“I was like what did I do,” she exclaimed.
The bartender said that while she was angry initially, she thought the incident was funny now after the anger had subsided.
She also said that she did not have any plans to press charges.
