"I’m from New York,” suspect told police. “Can’t I do this here?”

MAY 26--Responding to a call about a naked guy sunbathing, cops in Mishawaka, Indiana arrived at a local park Tuesday afternoon to discover a smiling Michael Donte Booth in the altogether. His nudity “was deliberate and not a wardrobe malfunction,” police concluded, according to an arrest report.

A survey of the crime scene determined that Booth’s shorts and underwear were several feet away from the blanket upon which he was laying on his back “with his entire genitals showing.” Nearby, officers found the book “Gay Power,” a “Kroger bottle of extra virgin olive oil,” two cans of Miller beer, and Marlboro cigarettes.

“Sweating all over his body,” Booth, 26, appeared to have drizzled himself with the olive oil. While his clothes smelled of marijuana, no contraband was recovered by cops, who noted that the suspect was “acting very unusual.”

Booth, who “kept smiling wide eyed at officers,” told police, “I’m from New York. Can’t I do this here?” He continued, “I’m a Republican and the cigarettes pay your taxes.” In response to those nonsensical observations, officers “quickly detained him in cuffs and using the blanket for cover inside a police mechanical.”

2. Clearly, a threat to public safety

NOT. I shall take whatever necessary pains there are to be had in avoiding Mishawaka on my weekend Midwest trip, even though I plan on keeping my clothes on at all times outside a motel room.

3. The setup is mentally hilarious

I can only imagine how flummoxed the officers must have been to see it in person. I think I laughed for five minutes straight. :rofl:

7. How relevant is it that the olive oil was "extra virgin"?

12. Deflowering a virgin (recruiting him into a life of sodomy) counts as an aggravating circumstance

in some states.

9. Ah yes, good ole 'merica. The gun is good, the penis is evil.

I full and well expect a giant head to come swooping down out of the clouds to distribute guns among us soon.

Has he never heard of skin cancer?

He'll get a nasty sunburn that way.
