SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A 19-year-old man dressed as a penis was arrested for disturbing a high school graduation today at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
   
Calvin Morett of 337 Pyramid Pine Estates allegedly interrupted the Saratoga Springs High School graduation by marching across SPAC's stage in an inflatable 6-foot penis costume while diplomas were being given out, Saratoga Springs Police Sgt. Sean Briscoe said.

Morett purchased the full-body costume and sprayed parts of the 5,000 people in the crowd with Silly String, Briscoe said.

His motive? ``He thought it would be funny,'' Briscoe said.

Morett was ticketed for disorderly conduct, a violation, and will face the charges in City Court on Tuesday, Briscoe said.

Morett graduated from Saratoga Springs High School last year. He tried to streak away from law enforcement, but could not.

``Once I stopped laughing, he was pretty easy to catch because he was tripping on the lower portion of the costume,'' said Briscoe, who made the arrest.

I like how the cop says "once I stopped laughing..."  Good to know some cops have a sense of humor.

Why was the guy arrested? The disorderly conduct charge is one of the most abused provisions, IMHO.

"Whoever commits such acts as are of a nature to corrupt the public morals, or outrage the sense of public decency"

That would be the part this guy is considered to be in violation of, but seriously, it's hard to argue "outrage" when everyone is laughing.

The cop should just have thrown his ass out and be done with it.

At least they didn't stop the ceremony.  If someone had done that in Dade County Public Schools, they would've stopped it right there.  And for those who didn't cross the stage, tough shit.

I need a penis costume.

I think the production on Denver_Bronco costumes starts soon for the Halloween season.  Look for penis outfits at a K-Mart near you soon!

Spoken from a guy who took one in the backdoor several times while doing hard time.

LOL this made me laugh!!!!! 


Seriously this would have been funny as hell to witness. It is too bad they arrested him for a harmless prank.

At my high school the senior class hired a streaker one year. It was funny, but they cracked down on the later classes.

They might have felt like they HAD to arrest him to prevent it from happening again.

While most in attendance probably thought it was funny, some were undoubtedly thinking, "My kid gets to graduate from high school ONE TIME and gets his ceremony ruined by some dick walking across stage!"
