The cops then took them to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Their mugshots quickly went viral on Twitter, and one of their avid fans launched a petition demanding the police release them. The hashtag #FreeSamandColby also went viral on Twitter.

Fortunately, Sam and Colby were released on bail the following day. The duo immediately posted a series of tweets to cool down their worried fans.
