St. Pat's Whizzer Picks Wrong Potty

MARCH 20--Meet Edward Cuebas. The 31-year-old Georgia man was arrested Friday afternoon for urinating in the gas tank of a marked Savannah police car during the city's rollicking St. Patrick's Day celebration. That's right, Cuebas, an Army captain, tried to top off the tank of a marked cruiser from the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police, according to the below incident report. When officers in a second vehicle spotted Cuebas pressed against the patrol car, they called him over to their car. He responded by running away, while 'simultaneously placing his penis back in his pants.' Cuebas was quickly apprehended and eventually charged with public indecency, criminal trespass, and interference with government property, all misdemeanors. Amazingly, he was not hit with any booze-related counts, though you have to figure Cuebas was a bit toasted when he approached that gaping gas cap. (3 pages)
