Florida Man Who Trashed Starbucks Pride Flag Gets Community Service And Ban From Starbucks Stores
The Smoking Gun reports:
The man who was so traumatized by a Pride flag hanging in a Starbucks that he doused it with tea, tore it off the wall, and stuffed it in a garbage can has received a slap on the wrist from a Florida judge, according to court records.
Tucker Kemp, 31, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief in connection with the October 2025 incident at a Starbucks in St. Petersburg. Police reported that Kemp told a store manager he was “offended by the flag and the fact that they should put up an American flag.”
The PTI deal terms require Kemp to serve 25 hours of community service, complete an eight-hour anger management course, and pay Starbucks $210 for damages resulting from his flag meltdown. Kemp, who admitted responsibility for the crime, has also been ordered to have “No Contact with Starbucks.”
Read the full article. Kemp last appeared here in November 2025 when his arrest resulted in his being fired from his job as a sales manager for the Dignity Memorial funeral home chain. The Smoking Gun notes that Kemp has changed his Facebook name to “Patriott Tucker.” Married to a woman and a registered Republican, he lists his priorities as “1. God, 2. Family, 3. Business.”
