MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A 400-pound woman decided to strip down to her birthday suit while she sat on a bus bench in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday afternoon.

Patricia McCollum was arrested and charged with exposure of sexual organs in public and was initially held on a $100 bond, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

The 52-year-old, who is currently homeless, was sitting buck naked on a bus bench at 3900 N. Ocean Blvd. She claims she was only trying to put on a different outfit.

“That’s why I was changing my clothes on the bus bench. I don’t have anywhere else to stay but bus benches,” McCollum said during a first appearance court hearing Thursday.

——A 400-pound woman decided to strip down to her birthday suit-—
that should be a felony for sure

Simple enough. Her M.O. is to pull something ridiculous to get arrested so she can get a bath, clean clothes, medical attention, a bed and three squares.

I cannot imagine any circumstance in which freedom is trumped by any creature comfort - at least not in the long term. For freedom to be of lesser value is truly a sign of dire circumstances or mental illness. Prayers for the woman.

"Patricia McCollum was arrested and charged with exposure of sexual organs in public..."

Quite honestly, at 400 pounds, I doubt they were really exposed to the public, regardless of how little clothing she was wearing.

This just in ... “Miami drugstores totally sold out of eye bleach”

A 400 pound women..what could she expose?? Whoever saw the “goods” had to lift several rolls of fat. Even if she was wearing shorts they would look like a thong.

The only crime (to progs) is that she was ‘fat’ and ‘raping the world of it’s ability for sustainable development’. /s

Michael Moore will hear of this and film a documentary on obese homeless people.
