But that guy nearby wearing the Armani and taking a business call on his BlackBerry, now he looked suspicious so police hauled him in for questioning.

The line above is a figment of my imagination; the headline is not. In fact, I think the guy or gal who wrote that headline should retire; they'll never write a better one. Ever. Here's the story:

I agree. No problem.

Oh, so it’s ok to tie naked people to trees in the park but it’s not ok to wander naked in your own kitchen? Whatever happened with that naked kitchen guy?

It’s been several years, but doing so was not a problem for a guy running for sheriff in a rural county in WA. He won the election and is still the sheriff.

[sten]

can’t tell if it’s a problem or not without pictures.

Consenting adults? So it’s okay to be tied naked to a tree in a public park as long as it’s agreed upon by the participants?

If you don’t mind, I’m just going to cross Tacoma off my list of cities to visit. Forty years ago it wasn’t such a bad place.

[Slings and Arrows]

Given the area, I think the consent they were worrying about was the tree’s.

[TheOldLady]

My bad. I forgot about the poor trees. Oh the hugh manatee!

LOL... I heard this on the radio yesterday morning, on Bryan Suits’ show. I was just waking up... thinking... did I really hear what I think I heard?

A friend of mine is a Tacoma cop. I’ll have to find out if he’s got any inside scoop.

I think it was reported as a woman being sexually assaulted in the park... and lots of cops descended on the park ready to hunt for some sort of rapist... but when the real story came out, they were (of course) relieved and apparently a bit amused by the whole thing.

Well, the article only says that “nobody was arrested”. Nothing really “arrestable” seems to have happened. It doesn’t say whether anybody received a citation for indecent exposure, or something. A citation wouldn’t have meant an arrest.
