Woman Twerks for Tips at 7-Eleven, Gets Arrested Instead of Paid 5

Veronica Ericka Whitsett {BSO}

A woman was taken into custody after police say she twerked in front of them inside a Lauderhill 7-Eleven while soliciting customers for cash and drugs, according to an arrest report.

According to a Lauderhill Police Department arrest report, Veronica Ericka Whitsett, 24, of Fort Lauderdale, was taken into custody just before 7:00 a.m. on April 12, following complaints from store employees at the 7-11 at 5590 West Oakland Park Boulevard.

Officers responding to the convenience store were flagged down by an assistant manager, who told officers Whitsett had been soliciting customers for money and drugs while ignoring repeated requests to leave the business.

When officers made contact with Whitsett inside the store, the situation escalated further.

According to the report, Whitsett began pressing her buttocks against the store counter and “doing a shaking motion” before extending her hands toward the responding deputy and asking for money.

Investigators say she then continued the behavior, alternating between twerking her buttocks and her chest, even after being told multiple times to leave the property.

Officers attempted to escort Whitsett out of the store, but she allegedly refused to comply. After repeated warnings, she was arrested.

Whitsett was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing on an occupied structure or conveyance.

Whitsett was transported to the Broward County Main Jail following her arrest.
