BOLO; Thomas Manning Hook
There’s this fellow from Florida by the name of Thomas Manning Hook who is a registered sex offender and he’s on the loose. He pretends to be a wounded Marine major with “metal plates all over his body” from a number of surgeries. It’s part of his schtick to gain sympathy and lure in his victims. He also impersonates a police officer. Here’s an article from about five years ago, the last time he was arrested;
Another shopper caught his attention. Grubb knew Thomas Manning Hook was a registered sex offender. He knew Hook had a history of impersonating cops. Then Grubb saw something that made him abandon his shopping cart: Hook had a sheriff’s badge clipped to his waist.
Grubb thought: This guy has to be stopped.
Grubb might have prevented a sex crime when he recognized Hook stealing cookies and children’s sticker books at the Dunedin Publix on Wednesday night, authorities said.
Hook had a stun gun in his car, which resembled a police cruiser, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies also found dating advertisements and ads placed on Craigslist by women seeking a male roommate.
Well, according to folks who know stuff, he left Florida without telling authorities, and that’s a crime in itself. But he was last reported to be in Oklahoma City. According to Florida, his victim in 1992 was a full grown woman, not a minor, but that can change, I suppose. He uses several aliases, too.

This is why Florida.
Again and again….
*With the Exception of Frankie Cee*
Might wanna add me to that exception. Currently residing in SW Florida.
I was gonna add something ZP but I figured anyone that’s in Florida that’s worthy and a good TAH-er would get the hint.
But NOT the Fake-Never-Been-CPO-Wanna-Be. Nope. Not him.
Too early for snow birding. Are you a permanent resident of the Sunshine State now, Zero?
We will be “Snow Birds” at least this year. Got some things to get done before our first full expedition though. And that fell to me.
Still got the patch on the ridge in WV.
This is his daughter.. And i pray that you never screw up your life to where people post hateful comments and death threats not only to you but your family as well. Where my father is far from perfect and needs to pay the price for his fuck ups… His family doesn’t. I chose a different path than my father and he needs more than prison. He needs mental help. His metal is real. From head to toe from an accident with an 18 wheeler that took the life of my 18 yr old brother and almost my father as well… He is stuck in a world that he thinks he is a officer… And since the wreck its been worse… The accident was 10 years ago… But instead of being hateful back and wishing death on people like the childish irrisponsible comments i am reading, i will pray for y’all as y’all should do for him that he will receive the help he needs. Btw the sexual offender shit was from a grown woman who was pissed bc my father left her damn slutty ass. He was a Marine bit got discharged. So get the story before you judge and talk ab killing people. The fact that my cousin was killed in Iraq coving ppls ass like y’all’s pisses me off. Now have a blessed day.
A dull knife would solve his problem!!
Sigh! More and more stupidity in Florida.
I don’t know who’s telling the truth anymore.
Glad this scumbag is off the street.
Unfortunately, he’s still at large.
….” he left Florida without telling authorities, and that’s a crime in itself. But he was last reported to be in Oklahoma City.”
Oh I didn’t see that part. Duh! Must be the Florida heat thing.;)
Thanks Chip
Hey isn’t Valery in FL. ? I think also we several others TAHers in Florida Also. Be sure of target before firing JOE
When I saw the car, the bit about pretending to be a LEO, and looking for love on Craig’s List, I thought this was about ole Hollywood Chevy.
He is close enough to add his vehicle to Dennis H Chevalier’s Protective Patrol fleet and get a Job with that Texas Turd.
They both have stolen/fake LEO badges, both claim to be military Officers and both Troll Craig’s List.
IIRC Tubby Liar was molesting underage High School Girls as a CAP Instructor in the 80s.
Birds of a feather
There’s kind of a “John Wayne Gacy” look to this degenerate…
Gacy? Hmm. Bad news if true.
Let’s all hope this IS NOT apropos.
Looking at this guy’s history, there are two things that will stop him: death or prison. A guy like this is not amenable to change.
Dirtbag.
^^What 2/17 said. I’m no Cal Lightman, but looking at his face in that mug shot, I would say he is feeling utter and complete disdain towards those taking his pic, because he feels superior to them in every way. He will continue doing whatever the hell he wants to do, because when he gets caught, it is not because he was doing anything wrong, it was because A. He is being persecuted by inferior people because of his superior intellect and B. Because he neglected to cover his tracks in one way or another (ie: another lesson learned.)
And re: the John Wayne Gacy comment above: I would not be surprised for an instant to find that there were some corpses moldering somewhere as a result of this guy.
TWO WORDS
——-
SHIT
BAG
Psycho Path.
/I know i know 😀
Hopefully only that and not worse (see above).
IMHO he looks like a remorseless Sociopath.
Sex offenders are why we should always have death as a potential punishment…somebody pretending to be a cop and using that lie to rape and assault needs to be treated as any other rabid dog and put down with a shot to the head.
I’d give anything to hear that he was heading out this way to Iowa, I still keep my 30/40 Krag next to my night-stand, so “Mr. Manning”, you just come right ahead” bet you one thing, you’ll never see Florida again”
Sam (Where the tall corn grows)
You can plant him where the tall corn grows. Would make EXCELLENT fertilizer (besides the fact that he’s so full of shite).

Hope he comes to Boston Area. I, and a number of my military sibling, would be more than willing to put this criminal fucker either in jail or in Hell.
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!! This asshole has been busted, and is now known as Captain Hook. Last known gig was playing in a Peter Pan ride at Disneyworld. Reportedly terminated after being caught under the floor next to the vertical fan at the Marilyn Monroe tribute. Apparently Goofy and Donald Duck walked in on him while he was trying to spank his monkey.
