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.
Thats why I was changing my clothes on the bus bench. I dont have anywhere else to stay but bus benches, McCollum said during a first appearance court hearing Thursday.

And these End of Days/Zombie Apocalypse all seem to be happening in my newly adoptive state of Florida?

Glad I bought some ammo...

PREVERT!
Thank you. Please follow up with two to the chest.
I agree. Things just keep getting nuttier and nuttier.
At least she didn’t take a bite out of anyone...
a Reaction Shot thread
aside from Ted Kennedy, why don’t we see more pics of obese men?
Are only obese women the objects of ridicule? There are lots of obese men that could/should be put to shame.
Just saying - obesity hits both sexes, young and old. Equal opportunity bashing, ok?
That looks remarkably like a woman who used to go to the gym where I workout.
Pretty face and a body that looked dessicated.
I had several conversations with her boyfriend, who was constantly trying to feed her. She would just go make herself throw up afterward.
He tried taking her to group therapy and even paid for a pricey shrink. Nothing worked.
She died. Wasn’t even thirty.
Oh yeah - I almost forgot. She had a sister who was 5’4” and over 400#. The sister went to our church. I didn’t realize they were related until the funeral.
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when I realized the connection.
Anorexia is ~NOT~ pretty when you see it in person.
I’d like to help, but I left my .577 TRex at home.
Find us a similar story of a fat guy doing this and we’ll razz him too.
I wouldn’t complain much about double standards though. You guys can cry your way out of parking tickets, and you get free drink nights. Life ain’t fair.
She could have fed a dozen Miami cannibals.
“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.”
Not the worst idea ever...
