The ordeal happened Thursday night in front of shocked shoppers in the town just outside Birmingham, Leeds Police Chief Paul Irwin said.
The 42-year-old Alabama man did a “cannonball” leap into the aquarium and then stood under a waterfall. He left the water to yell at two officers, then dove back into the aquarium, police said.
The man eventually climbed over the side of the aquarium and fell to the concrete floor below. Police then apprehended him, the news site Al.com reported.
He faces several charges including public lewdness, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
The man was in the water for about five minutes before officers arrived, Irwin said.
That man is truly living. Can you say the same?
the same
Leave.
Victim-less crime.
Let he who has not wanted to swim naked in a Bass Pro Shop aquarium cast the first stone.
Just wait until he’s out of the aquarium
… and the stones start flying!
Gotta say, I can see the appeal.
Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.
This truly made me laugh out loud. The actual story is even funnier than the headline.
does this have to be a police matter
Somehow guessing the toxicology report on this guy is going to come back with a short education on recreational substances in the “positive results” box.
Much more likely he’s manic af. If I had a nickel for everyone who ended up at the psych hospital I worked at after running naked in public in the throes of a manic episode, I’d have several dollars. Most often drugs were not related when the clothes came off, it’s straight up bipolar and it knows no socioeconomic or cultural bounds. Would be mortifying to end up in the national news like this guy, or the Kony 2012 guy
“Do what you must, for I have already won.”
Every part of this headline is more insane than the last.
And then the article itself is somehow even more insane.
and they somehow skipped over him crashing his car outside before running in
for a moment I thought maybe this was a planned dare or something but no, this was just a guy who had crashed his car and saw an aquarium and made some off the cuff choices.
Florida Man: I am da best!
Alabama Man enters the chat
Hellabaman is edging up on Floridaman for first place.
I just naturally assumed this happened in Florida. Glad some other state is causing a brief distraction.
How come whenever I go to a Bass Pro Shop I never get to see a naked 42-year-old man leaping into the aquarium? I swear life is not fair.
You need to be part of the secret Lemmy group that coordinates it. Keep up your desire. We have interest in you.
Praise the lawd!
‘Yes, Hi,… my name is Jimmy Bobby Bo Billy— the reason I’m knocking on your door today is because I’ve been registered as a sex offender, and I’m required to let you know that I once jumped naked into a Bass Pro Shop aquarium’
Favorite news of the day. So funny and relative to the rest of the world is harmless. Gogo redneck stupidity. LOLOLOLOL
There’s one in Springfield with a bunch of aquariums.
I think almost everyone briefly thinks about doing it, but clearly he lacked the part of his brain that says “lol but? no.”
This should be an event in the Olympics.
