Tortelicious: It’s a Lindsay Lohan Fan Club SCRAM Bracelet

July 19th, 2010. By LucyC

Welcome to Totally Tortelicious—a review of some of the more bizarre legal stories making news—and there’s certainly no shortage of them.

Lindsay Lohan Fan Club Bracelet—He’s Got One! I think this guy deserves some marks for quick thinking… he is on probation and forbidden from leaving the USA. So, of course, he thought he’d try…

He was caught trying to cross the border near Buffalo—(I’m assuming the border with Canada) but the border officers thought Mr. Eugene Todie (love the name) was up to no good when they spotted his ankle bracelet.

So Mr. Todie, (demonstrating quick thinking) apparently said he was wearing the bracelet in support of Lindsay Lohan—that’s her booking pic at left—who is going to jail this week to serve a 90-day sentence for violating her drunken driving probation. You know, these two actually do have a lot in common. I wonder if Ms. Lohan knows she’s a role model?

Anyway, the officers didn’t buy Mr. Todie’s version of the world as he saw it, and presumably sent him right back where he came from. So now he really is demonstrating solidarity with Ms. Lohan.

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your trousers on before addressing Boulder City Council. The Colorado town has decided that it’s had enough of half naked and fully naked people running around the town at will, and worse, showing up at council meetings. Apparently, what kicked this off was some guy addressing council members in his boxer shorts—trying to make a point no doubt. Ah, the road to hell… Anyway, the council plans to vote on new decorum rules in September, rules which were already under review. Seems like a good use of tax dollars to me. After all, they could be putting in parking meters instead…

A little back story on this—Boulder is a university town, and has been debating the issue of public decorum for some time. As recently as April, AP reports, “the city barred teens and adults from showing their genitals in public.” Can’t say that happens much in my neighborhood…But then we don’t host two annual naked sporting events which involve running and cycling. A spectator sport not for the faint of heart…

Strangely, however, the city council doesn’t seem to have a problem with topless women, and has so far refused to “outlaw topless females,” despite the fact that the good residents of Boulder have complained about a woman who gardens in a thong and gloves. Um…I think the guys got a bad break here…or maybe I’m just being naive.

Feeling free in Springfield…Speaking of boxer shorts, these guys didn’t seem to have a problem with them. A man in Springfield, MO, was arrested in his—which the media are reporting as blue plaid—that sounds tasteful.

But it all turned ugly when the 64-year old detainee was released from county jail wearing his boxers and had to find his way home. (The police obviously weren’t having a good night, because they didn’t allow this guy time to get dressed before they hauled him off.)

Try flagging a cab in that get-up. And it was unlikely his wife would show up to collect him as he was taken in on domestic assault charges. Had he been in Boulder, where that kind of dress simply isn’t tolerated any longer, maybe he’d have been looking at real jail time…?
