Federal Prosecutor Busted for Swimming in His Boxers
NBC Miami ^ | Mon, Sep 27, 2010 | TODD WRIGHT

And the "Bonehead Play of the Day" award from this Sunday goes to a Miami federal prosecutor who had ants in his pants while he watched football.

Sean Cronin, 35, was arrested after he decided to do a victory lap in a local bar's pool in his boxers, the Miami Herald reported.

That's what's called in legal circles as being caught with your pants down.

Cronin was watching the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills when he decided it was a little warm in Finnegan's River, a bar in downtown. So the man who is used to sending people to prison jumped into the water in his undies.

But not everything stayed in his trousers when he got out of the water, according to the police report. His genitalia and rump were showing.

A woman and her daughter were sitting by the pool and were grossed out by the celebration and called police. Cronin tried to make a wet getaway, but was run down by police after he jumped several fences. He is charged with misdemeanor lewd and lascivious exhibition and nonviolent obstruction of justice.

We are also throwing in one count of stupidity and another charge of rooting for the wrong team.

Cronin, who prosecutes federal drug cases, is also the same prosecutor that nearly lost his job last year after he and a colleague were caught eavesdropping on a defendant's privileged phone calls that ultimately led to the man being acquitted.

US District courts have ruled that baring one behind is not considered indecent exposure.

Maybe not one behind, but what about two up front?

I can see any one of the men in my family doing something impulsive like this during a football game party.

In addition, I have seen more than one partial bare butt on men when they come out of the pool and their trunks are heavy with water. For that matter, I have seen women’s breasts misplaced in their swim top after diving into the water.

Whoever called the police on this guy is a creep.

Oh, yes...it’s Flori-DUH.

How many women wear thong bikinis?

Frankly, seeing a happy guy in his wet boxers shouldn’t provoke a lawsuit.

Even if he’s a fed...though one might argue that he should be held to a higher standard. If that’s the case, fire his butt, but don’t make a federal case out of it.

Reminds me of my MOST EMBARASSING moment. Sitting around talking with friends, with my privates peeking out of my swim trunks. Lots of snickering going on amongst my friends - females included. And I was completely clueless until my best friend whispered to me. (Although after 5 minutes of this - how good of a friend was he!?)

Thankfully I was in about 3rd grade and I never see any of those folks anymore!

A swimming pool at the bar must be a Floriduh thing. When I was down in Fort Lauderdale for Spring Break over 20 years ago, we ended up in a bar with a pool out back where they were having a bellyflop contest, followed by a wet T-shirt contest. I wasn’t nearly drunk enough to get involved in either.

“Also to keep in mind is that US District courts have ruled that baring one behind is not considered indecent exposure”

Interesting. I won’t test that by mooning the cops however.

Swimming in boxers? How many dogs does the guy have? That’s an animal-cruelty charge on top of all the other stuff.
