If you thought that attorney Harold M. Hoffman had an embarrassing appearance in court, consider George Bartusek, 51, who was arrested for making out with an inflatable doll in the front seat of his 1988 Lincoln Town Car in the parking lot of a Publix store.
Cape Coral Police say that witnesses observed him “performing activity to two different blow up dolls in his vehicle that was consistent with masturbation and other simulated sexual activity.” He was also accused of “aggressively” kissing the dolls. It is unclear how this became a “breach of the peace.” Presumably, they would have charged him with indecent exposure if it were applicable. Necking with a doll is probably not enough.
Bartusek told police that he was at the store to “get some clothes for his dolls.” As with the men arrested for having a romantic relationship with a picnic table or car vacuum or vehicles themselves, this might be difficult to fit into the available criminal code. One man with a mannequin fetish received a sentence of 18 months to 30 years for his repeated assaults on unconsenting store mannequins.

Florida police already have a history of voyeurism. Just ask Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Ruebens.
“Then again, if they had watched an waited for penetration then they could have thrown the book at him”
Please don’t encourage the police into voyeurism, they have enough trouble already.
My reaction to this when I heard it on Florida TV was WTF? I figured the charged would be something like Public Lewdness, but $6,500 bail? The officer should have shooed him away with a warning. The arrest is a joke, unless he was exposing himself, or had a long record of prior sexual misconduct. Obviously there was exhibitionism at play here, but really, the legal aspect was carried a little too far. Then again, if they had watched an waited for penetration then they could have thrown the book at him. Is this someone though who we want to send to prison? Mental Ward for observation is the way to go.
I’m thinking we might be missing a troll soon . . .
Obviously the arrest for “performing activity to” has harshed his mellow, action figures not withstanding.
WTF? Now you can’t get jiggy with your blow-up babe in the supermarket parking lot anymore? Talk about a police state!
