According to ABC News, the man in question was 33-year-old Terry Peck – an aspiring rapper who goes by the name 2pec – and he ordered lobsters, oyster shooters, a baby octopus and several beers at Omeros Bros Restaurant in Queensland before scarpering.
He was chased by restaurant staff onto Main Beach, where he then jumped into the ocean.
Police attempted to coax him out to no avail and so were towed out on the back of a jet-ski and arrested him in the middle of the waters.

He’ll be returning to court on May 4.
