WA- 1 of 2 car prowlers answers nature's call in patrol car

Will they be declared sex offenders?

7-1-2009 Washington:

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE – Call it an escape of sorts.

The men were in handcuffs and seated in the back of a Mountlake Terrace patrol car early this morning, Mountlake Terrace police Sgt. Doug Hansen said.

One man apparently felt the need to use a restroom. He couldn’t wait to get to jail and reportedly didn’t want to wet his pants, Hansen said.

The other man was able to help his friend unzip his fly and not go in his pants. Instead, the man urinated in the back of the patrol car.

Both men were arrested earlier for breaking into vehicles near an apartment complex in the 4400 block of 212th Street SW, Hansen said. A third person, a boy, was arrested and released to his parents.

The two men who fouled the patrol car may face a malicious mischief charge, police said. ..Source.. byJackson Holtz, Herald Writer
