Tourist Kicked Out Of Elvis Presley’s Graceland Home For This Crazy Stunt
A British fan of Elvis Presley has been kicked out of the late singer’s former home after he took a dip in the Graceland swimming pool. Security had to kick this tourist out of Elvis Presley’s Graceland home for this crazy stunt. You can check out all the stupidity at The Daily Mail.
A video posted online shows a guy named Tommy Purcell climbing a Graceland fence marked “restricted area.” Then he briskly walks toward the pool as a security guard rushes toward him. Purcell then climbs onto the pool’s diving board and jumps into the water before the guard can stop him.
A second video shows Purcell climbing out of the pool before another guard escorts him off the property.
Purcell’s wife posted the clips alongside a laughing face emoji. Elvis fans don’t appear to find humor in the stunt. One comment said, “People are so disrespectful and I hope he got arrested.” Another writes, “It is disrespectful for jumping into a dead man’s pool that’s not meant to be jumped in but meant to be looked at.”
