Police: Man mooned crowd only minutes after being released on marijuana charge – Fosters
PORTSMOUTH — Minutes after he was released on bail for marijuana possession, Adelbert Harvey was arrested again in Market Square Tuesday afternoon for allegedly mooning people, say police.As a result, Harvey, 35, with no permanent address, faces three Class A misdemeanor charges of possession of drugs, breach of bail conditions and indecent exposure-lewdness.
According to [police they] received reports from witnesses nearly 10 minutes after Harvey was released about him exposing his buttocks in the middle of downtown.
[Prosecutors] argued that Harvey should be held on cash bail because of the fact that he violated terms of his release nearly 10 minutes after being arrested for the marijuana charge.
Judge Sawako Gardner asked Harvey if the court could trust him to stay on good behavior after which he responded with, “if I don’t drink, I guess.”
While admitting to having a drinking problem, Harvey said he was still intoxicated when released on the first charge and called his latest arrest a “wake-up call.”
Don’t you just hate it when you get a story about a messed-up alcoholic doing something really stupid, but since marijuana is illegal people will equate breaking the law on marijuana with the stupid things that were caused by alcohol.
