The publication date used for this cleaned article is 2024-04-01. That date is tied to the following case event: April 1, 2024 no-contest plea and financial disposition. This replaces the old import timestamp, which reflected when the article package was created rather than when the underlying crime or later substantive case development actually occurred.
Charges, custody and current posture
The record identifies Max Krejckant (33) in connection with events reported at Ink Godz tattoo shop in St. Petersburg, Florida. The principal reported proceeding is Misdemeanor theft of services. The custody, bond or financial information reported for the case is Initially $150. The source record establishes a completed plea or sentence rather than merely an accusation.
The latest verified posture through August 11, 2026 is: Resolved by a no-contest plea; Krejckant was ordered to pay $675 in fines and court costs. That status controls the wording of the headline and body. A scheduled arraignment, restitution hearing, trial date or possible future dismissal is not treated as if it already happened. Likewise, a bond amount is not presented as a sentence, and a diversion agreement is not called a conviction.
What the case-specific record shows
Those details are the factual anchors for this record. They identify the person, location, conduct, evidence described by investigators or witnesses, and the procedural action actually completed. the update does not add a generic statute summary merely to increase length, and it does not borrow facts from other cases with a similar unusual object, restaurant, store, vehicle or social-media angle.
Source record and reporting limits
The sources below were reviewed for this specific case and for a later disposition. Where the source set did not reveal a later plea, dismissal, verdict or sentence, the article stops at the last verified event instead of assuming the case remained unchanged forever or inventing an outcome. Where a later disposition was found, the older arrest-stage language is superseded by that result.
Disclaimer: This article summarizes case-specific public records and reporting available through August 11, 2026. Charges and police allegations remain allegations unless a valid plea or court judgment establishes guilt. The article date reflects the verified crime or later substantive case event described above.
Case-specific factual recap
The cleaned record can be reduced to a concrete sequence without adding unrelated criminal-justice background. The subject is Max Krejckant; the reported setting is Ink Godz tattoo shop in St. Petersburg, Florida; and the proceeding is Misdemeanor theft of services. The underlying factual sequence reported in the source is: Krejckant requested a five-inch Waffle House-themed tattoo valued at approximately $250. The artist completed the work. Krejckant then revealed that he had only about $6. He declined or failed to use proposed payment alternatives. Police arrested him for theft of services. He spent one night in jail and posted $150 bond. On April 1, 2024, Krejckant pleaded no contest. The court imposed approximately $675 in fines, costs and fees. The later procedural position is: Resolved by a no-contest plea; Krejckant was ordered to pay $675 in fines and court costs.
That sequence is also why the case date is 2024-04-01. The controlling date is not the August 2026 import date. It is the completed incident, arrest, plea, release, diversion decision or sentence identified in the case-specific chronology. This approach keeps search results, archives and WordPress chronology aligned with what actually happened in the case.
