Stupid Criminals: A Drunk Man Gives a Police Officer a Wet Willy

In this edition of Stupid Criminals we should call it Lucky Criminals since this guy got off easy for giving a police officer not only a wet willy in one ear but actually gave him a wet willy in both ears.

According to The Smoking Gun, around 2:20 in the morning on Saturday, a police officer was standing on the street, talking to a bus driver near a bar in Mankato, Minnesota, about 80 miles southwest of Minneapolis

One of the bars in that area had just closed, so drunk people were pouring out of it, including a 24-year-old guy named Riley Swearingen, who was with some friends.

Apparently just to get a laugh, Swearingen decided to sneak up behind the officer and give him a wet willy.

More specifically, Swearingen went with a double wet willy, meaning he put a finger in both of the officer's ears at the same time.

At that point the cop spun around, and saw him walking away, and if he wasn't already sure Swearingen did it, he was a few seconds later when he clearly heard him yell to his friends that he, "just gave [that] cop a wet willy!"

It turns out Swearingen is an air traffic controller in the Air Force, and was in town for a friend's wedding.

Initially they charged with him "assaulting a police officer with bodily fluids," which is a felony, but after three days in jail, a judge let him plead guilty to disruptive intoxication instead.

So he ended up with time served, and had to pay $77 in court costs.
