Shock jock Bubba's 2 guns stolen from car

Car thieves broke into the sport utility vehicle of shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem Wednesday night and stole two guns he had in a fanny pack - a Kel-Tec .32 caliber handgun and an FNH 5.7 handgun, St. Petersburg police said. Clem is allowed to have the weapons as he has a concealed weapons permit, said St. Petersburg police spokesman George Kajtsa.

Clem was bowling with friends at the Sunrise Lanes bowling alley, 6393 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N., when his car was broken into at about 11 p.m. Someone punched the lock to get inside.

Within hours, St. Petersburg police say they arrested two men and one teenager in connection with the break-in, as well as a couple of other car burglaries at the bowling alley. The recovered Clem's firearms, along with a department-issue Glock .40 caliber handgun that had been stolen from the sport utility vehicle of Maj. Donnie Williams, of the St. Petersburg Police Department, when Williams was off-duty on June 13, said St. Petersburg police spokesman Bill Proffitt.

Nicholas McCant, 19, of St. Petersburg, was charged with two counts of armed burglary to a vehicle, one count of burglary to an unoccupied conveyance, one count of resisting arrest with violence, and two counts of violating his probation from previous theft charges.

The second suspect was identified as Mario McCant, 20, of St. Petersburg, who was charged with armed burglary to a vehicle and with resisting arrest without violence.

The third suspect was identified as Kevatae Jermaine Caldwell, 16. He is charged with one count of auto burglary.

Police could not say how the McCants are related.

Three hours before Clem's Chevrolet Suburban was burglarized, police received a report that a vehicle had been burglarized as 901 North Shore Drive N.E. A witness told authorities the suspects were driving around in a white Chevrolet Tahoe, Proffitt said.

A short time later the suspects burglarized four cars - including Clem's - at the bowling alley, Proffitt said.

Later, undercover detectives spotted the Tahoe and followed it to a spot in the vicinity of 38th Avenue North and 49th Street North, where they arrested the two McCants and Caldwell. A fourth suspect bolted, but authorities are looking for him.

All told, detectives recovered six handguns from the Tahoe - including Clem's and Williams', Proffitt said. They are trying to determine how the suspects came into the possession of the other three. They are also trying to determine whether the Tahoe has been reported stolen.
