Mark Linnhoefer – 81-year old Wallace Berg was arrested in Stratford, England, Monday after police were shown footage of him naked, performing a “sexual act” with shrubbery.
Local police received the video of Berg from his neighbor. In the video, Berg can reportedly be seen butt-naked in a bush on his front lawn, humping some shrubbery, or whatever a sexual act with a shrub may look like. When confronted by his neighbor, Berg is said to have covered himself, apologized and gone back inside.
The most astonishing fact, however, is that the guy was actually charged with not only public indecency but also with a second-degree breach of peace. A charge that forced the man to pay $10,000 as a bond and appear in court on the 5th of August.
This reporter would like to say that an eighty-one year old humping a bush but immediately apologizing and going back home when someone confronts him about it doesn’t need to go to jail, or pay thousands of dollars – the poor guy needs some company, or therapy, or both.
That being said, Wallace Berg was reportedly standing where anyone in the area could see him, so, yeah, telling him to go inside was the right thing to do. But was it really necessary to get the cops involved?
