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.
Mommy who was the short man with the beard? He scared me...
well, the one time a man SHOULD HAVE WORN a speedo.
Had it been any of the FoxNews female legal eagles - NOT GUILTY!!
FLORIDUH Ping
The Boxer Rebellion.
This is why I always go swimming in my tighty-whities.
I am sorry, but you would think that the police had more important things to worry about in So Florida.
This is the type of thing you’d see in one of those relatively non-realistic TV shows about prosecutors, where the wild and crazy assistant prosecutor is always doing something wacky that all his fellow prosecutors either laugh at or just shake their heads. Of course, in the show, he never gets caught. Then real people see the show and think it’s a cool thing to do.
Than some guy with his wanker hanging out in front of kids? Then he ran?
A man embroiled in a controversy over nude photos of a Manitoba lawyer who is now a judge, has dropped his $7-million lawsuit against her but not against her husband or a law firm.
“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.”
Cut him. He is a train wreck. I wonder how many of his cases are or will be reversed on appeal. Dumbass.
Permit me to pick a nit.
No where does it say “kids” were involved. The article does mention a daughter. But this also happened at a bar.
(A bar with a swimming pool?) So you have to assume the daughter was of age.
But still. Your point is valid. This fool is toast.
I’m not sure what time the game took place but many bars allow children until 9:00pm or some. If the mother and daiughter were both adults, I don’t think the author would have made the point IMHO. But the whole article is comical so who knows. This guy ruined his career.
Agreed.
What did they charge him with? I don’t see anything more than unintended assault. He should counter sue for harrassment.
Yes, no, or maybe. They have a kids menu.
