Fire at Thai market in South Tampa called suspicious
TAMPA — Police say a closed South Tampa market was burglarized and set ablaze Tuesday night by its owner's son.
James Nettles, 34, faces charges of arson, burglary and resisting an officer without violence.
Officers were patrolling near the Thai Market and Kitchen at 2235 S. Dale Mabry Highway when they spotted flames at the business and a man wearing gloves and a black backpack exiting the back.
When they tried to stop the man, he ran away, but was soon detained. He was found carrying money and a DVR that belonged to the video surveillance system of the market, Tampa Police said.
The building was fully engulfed in flames. No injuries were reported.
Nettles reportedly told the arresting officers that he worked at the Thai Market and that owner Judy Rolison is his stepmother. He was held at the Hillsborough County Jail without bail Wednesday morning.

The cops have to keep a good eye on that area. They keep lots of crack and powder coke stashed in the apts up there on euclid. Henry Duran's partner's sister sits on some for them with the other hookers in the bldg.

Don't think so. I'm local. The Place is run by Thai people. The perp has a history of B and E's, but you never know.

Well, cut my legs off and call me shorty.
This place must have changed hands or something. Last time I was there they had some people working the counter that weren't Thai Nationals.

James Nettles doesn't song Thia to me. And I know they said stepson. Thia people usually only marry Thia people. Not trying to be racist.

According to the Division of Corporations the business appears to have been owned by OLLIKKALA, PRAPHASSORN and OLLIKKALA, BARRY J. Thai Market and Kitchen LLC voluntarily dissolved 8/1/11.

Lead Tongue, James Nettles doesn't "song" "Thia" - Maybe he is a product of an American and a Thai. Ever think of that? After all, it says he is her "step" son.

I had to get this from an outside source. Tampa Bay Times disappeared the story. No doubt this scummy dude is a Hillsborough County "untouchable" like TPD helicopter asshat Dennison.

Tampa firefighter charged with burglary
TAMPA — A Tampa Fire Rescue firefighter was arrested Thursday after police said he tried to burglarize a cell phone store.
Geoffrey Eugene Hicks, 24, (no on-line picture available, but the newspaper shows him to be a nigger - brutus) was charged with burglary of a structure and possession of burglary tools. He posted $4,000 bail and was released from the Hillsborough County Jail.
Just before 1 a.m. Thursday, a Tampa police officer on patrol heard an alarm sound outside Wireless USA at 701 S Dale Mabry Highway.
The officer saw a man running outside the business, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said, and found him crouched behind a dumpster. A crowbar was on the ground next to him.
McElroy said a side door, an inside door and some cabinets showed signs of being pried open. The store’s owner, summoned to the site, told police nothing seemed to be missing.

Insurance fraud? Family set up? One way to tell is keep an eye on the mugshots page and if he gets bailed out or constancnely has money in account. This is Fraud.

James Nettles?He has a record as long as his arm and should have been cooling his heels in the pen a long time ago. Please Mr. Judge put this thieving, wife beating, drug addict away before he does something worse than burn up all the pad thai mix and red curry
