The Bay County Sheriff’s Office responded on July 15, 2013, to Highway 231 Custom Tattoo Designs in reference to the burglary of a coin operated vending machine. Deputies arrived to find a soft drink machine had been tampered with and the bill validator and change slots removed.
Video of the incident was captured by security cameras. The video revealed that approximately 11:40 p.m. a dark colored Ford or GMC King Cab truck pulled into the parking lot.

Another white male wearing a light colored t-shirt and shorts eventually got out of the truck and helped the first suspect break into the machine.
