Another Name In The News
This is the best one of these yet, and by an extremely wide margin at that. Arrested on Tuesday and charged with public indecency after exposing himself and touching an undercover police officer in a local park is 90-year-oldLeonard G. Dickman. I’m not sure if that can ever be topped, but I’ll try.
