This brings to mind the case of Lance Rentzel, the Dallas Cowboy receiver. He was drunk and drained his lizard on the freeway near Dallas. A female driver recognized him and filed obscenity charges against him because her daughter may have seen his weenie. Rentzel was ruined, ended up losing his wife, Joey Heatherton, and was cut from the Cowboys. All this for draining the lizard on a Texas freeway.I believe he was charged as a sex offender also.

And Ozzy Osbourne was banned from San Antonio for years for taking a leak on the Alamo.

Lance Rentzel- public urination? Um, no... Not the case. Where did you get that ridiculous story? First of all, he pleaded guilty. Secondly, Lance Rentzel himself described in his autobiography the entire situation, explaining how he lured the 10 yr old girl over to his car and exposed himself to her. Go read it you fool. Don’t speak out about something unless you know what you’re talking about. Here is a blurb from a review on his book-
“Rentzel’s autobiography would appear, at first glance, to be a risky adventure. One wonders why anyone, let alone a football star preoccupied with his masculinity, would write a book describing his sexual problems. Fortunately, much of All the Laughter dwells not on Rentzel’s propensity for exposing himself to young girls, or on his relationship with Joey Heatherton, but rather on his football career”

Re: Lance Rentzel’s autobiography—

“...in September 1966. while nursing yet another injury, Rentzel read George Orwell’s 1984, became very depressed, drove to a playground, and exposed himself to two girls. Promising to submit to psychiatric treatment, he was let off on a charge of disorderly conduct. Rentzel played out the rest of the season, and, in early 1967, was traded to the Dallas Cowboys.
But one year later, everything turned sour. The Cowboys began to crumble during the first part of the season. On Nov. 15, Dallas lost, 38-0, to the St. Louis Cardinals (this was during the pre-Crone era). Three days later, Rentzel saw 2001: A Space Odvssey, and reacting strongly to the movie, his depression hit new depths. The following afternoon, he drove out aimlessly after practice before finally exposing himself once again.
Rentzel’s attempt to analyze his sexual problems are painful to him, and to the reader as well. He maintains that because of an over-loving, smothering mother, he had an intense desire to be able to prove his masculinity. When he failed to live up to his or anyone else’s expectations, when he dropped passes or mismanaged a night club, the only way he could reassure himself that he was not a loser was to exhibit his masculinity, to expose himself. Rentzel strives to be honest here, but his analysis is suspiciously similar to that of his psychiatrist, Dr. Louis J. West, who writes an epilogue briefly describing Rentzel’s problems. One has the feeling that Rentzel examined his hang-ups to show West that, indeed, his psychotherapy has been successful”.
