Tom Brady was busted for trying to get a workout in at a park in downtown Tampa, according to Mayor Jane Castor.
While giving constituents a virtual update on Monday night, Castor revealed that Brady had been seen by a member of the parks and recreation staff that was patrolling to make sure people were abiding by the rules in place to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
"Our parks are closed down, and so a lot of our parks staff, they patrol around just to make sure that people aren't taking part in contact sports or anything," Castor said. "They saw an individual working out in one of our downtown parks, and she went over to tell him that it was closed, and it was Tom Brady."
"Apparently he has been sighted!" Castor concluded.

After a warning from the parks department, let's hope Brady heeds his own advice.
