Couple Cited in Bizarre Fake Penis Case
By JOE MANDAK, Associated Press Writer Fri Mar 3, 5:27 PM ET
PITTSBURGH - A man and woman were cited Friday in connection with a bizarre incident that resulted in a fake penis being microwaved at a convenience store last week.
Leslye Creighton, 41, of Wilkinsburg, and Vincent Bostic, 31, of Pittsburgh, were both cited for criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in the Feb. 23 incident at the Get Go! gasoline and convenience store in McKeesport, about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Each charge carries a possible sentence of up to 90 days in jail and up to a $300 fine.
Bostic had filled a fake penis with his urine that Creighton, a friend, planned to use to pass a drug test she was taking to get a job, Police Chief Joseph Pero said.
Creighton asked a store clerk to microwave the device so the urine inside would be body-temperature and fool those giving the drug test, Pero said.
Police still aren't sure why or how Creighton chose to use a device that mimics the male sex organ to pass her drug test.
Creighton didn't immediately return a call to her home on Friday.
Defense attorney William Difenderfer didn't dispute the police account, but said there's no proof his clients had any criminal intent to damage the microwave — the basis for the criminal mischief charge.
"I certainly understand the ramifications and I'm certainly not saying it wasn't a stupid thing to do," Difenderfer said. "But there's a lot of bizarre stuff that we don't always have a remedy for in the crimes code."
Difenderfer said his clients want to settle the case, in part, by reimbursing the store for a new microwave oven.
Pero said the store got rid of the old oven because it couldn't be used for food once bodily fluids were cooked inside it.
Neither Difenderfer nor Pero know what kind of job the woman applied for, or whether she was hired.

AHA! Now it makes sense. Thanks for posting this, I had been very confused.
What remains unclear is how she was going to explain the penis part. But whatever.

New EEOC regulations on the trans-gendered, I suppose?
Cheers!
Never mind "whatever"
This could be hugh!
I've taken 2 drug tests for work and nobody watched me. You go into a restroom and are alone. This was at Any Test.
Since they require only a tiny amount of urine I would think a dishonest person could put a small amount of urine in a very small container and keep it under their arm or even taped to their body to keep it somewhat warm. When I handed the sample to the technician you could tell it was mildly warm but the tech just taped it shut and put it in an envelope. Nobody took it's temperature.
Hey......... m_f, .....how would you like to have a bizarre case of fake penises?
You only can get a 6-pack on Sundays.
I'll bet those settings are piss-poor.

It seems very clear to me. In this day and age, would anyone who saw a "woman" with a penis in her panties be politically incorrect enough to say , "Oh excuse me, m'am, I didn't realize you were a sir. Beg your pardon."
Your right, I know people that fill a small liquor bottle and keep it under the breast. Comes out body temp and clean. It's just a shame that in America the average joe has to go through more invasive tests to get a job than any criminal illegal has to do to get into this Country!
sigh......... home sweet home.
