KEY WEST, Fla. (Reuters) - A drunken Florida prosecutor who streaked across a motel parking lot and mistakenly jumped into a stranger's car landed in the slammer, a state attorney's office spokesman said on Wednesday.

After tossing back a few drinks with colleagues last weekend, Monroe County assistant prosecutor Albert "A.J." Tasker, 28, stripped off his clothes as a prank and headed toward what he thought was a friend's vehicle.

But Tasker jumped into the back seat of the wrong car, where a woman was waiting for her boyfriend. The woman screamed, the boyfriend arrived and Key West police arrested Tasker.

"The devil made him do it," said Matt Helmerick, spokesman for the Monroe County state attorney in Key West.


Nah, not the devil, just a good ol dose of poor judgement with an alcohol appetizer. The picture is what gets me though. Is that what the prosecutors look like in Florida :confused: I'm trying to figure out if that's a shadow behind his head or if he is sporting a mullet.

The picture is what gets me though. Is that what the prosecutors look like in Florida :confused: Just the ones who run naked into strangers' cars.

You want I should close the duplicate thread, and maybe move this to another forum? Parking LoT? Daily Grind? Lounge?

I'd scream, too. Not because he was naked, but because he was a lawyer.
:eek: :D

I guess Florida really is a red state.

Didn't realize there was a duplicate. Feel free to close it and move this thread to wherever it is most appropriate. :)

And you'd scream because of his hairstyle, too....call it a hunch. :D

Now, why would MBC think that a story about a naked lawyer jumping into a car with a woman he doesn't know is a political discussion?

See what Bill Clinton did to American politics? ;)

Um, he made it interesting? :p And he managed to tie cigar-lovin' to the Oval Office.

That's awfully strange. I could swear that I started this in "Lounge Lizard", which I thought was most appropriate. I suppose "Daily Grind" works as well though. :)

[Ghoulish Delight]

I almost moved it to the Lounge...but somehow Daily Grind seemed funnier. And I'm all about funnier.

Well, I suppose if that guy was doing his "daily grind" with the woman in her car, it is.

And leave it to a pubbie to find a way to blame any discussion on Clinton. ;)

I would have blamed Kerry or Dean, but that just wouldn't work - with Clinton, it works. :)

Just thinking out loud but, I wonder if "The devil made me do it" is a viable defense strategy in FL. I also wonder if this prosecutor, should he ever prosecute again, will accept it as an excuse from a defendant. What's good for the goose...

Don't you mean the Oral Office?
