2 Lakeland stores busted for selling porn
LAKELAND, FL -- Undercover detectives caught two Lakeland convenience stores selling explicit pornography videos, in open view, and arrested three store owners in the bust, the Polk Sheriff's Office said Friday.
A fourth man, who detectives say was supplying the videos to the stores, was also arrested.
Last month undercover vice detectives, visited several stores in Lakeland. According to investigators, they found both Skyview Foods, located at 2939 Skyview Drive, and the Sunoco Gas Station at 2225 S. Combee Road, selling XXX DVD videos. Detectives said they the videos were located near the checkout corner of both stores, in full view of any customer.
Detectives bought videos from each store. The videos contained hardcore adult images, which a judge later ruled violated Florida's obscenity laws.
Tuesday detectives seized 272 items from both stores. It's illegaal to sell obscene material in Polk County, something the store owners found out the hard way.
"The deal that I want to tell the smut peddlers, is take your stuff and get out," said Sheriff Grady Judd, "If you don't, we're gonna put you in jail. How do you like that?"
Imagine getting caught shooting porn in Polk County by Sheriff Judd... Interestingly Polk County sits between porn friendly Tampa and Disney owned Orlando...
