Air Force Colonel Arrested for Being Too Rowdy at a Boy George Concert
|Life is continuing to imitate the Duffel Blog. Via a reader tip here comes the latest example:
An Air Force colonel who was unable to handle the raging intensity of a Boy George concert last week in Kettering, Ohio, was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after attempting to rush the stage.
Col. Mark Eugene Muth, 57, assigned to the command surgeon general’s office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, was taken into custody Sept. 5 by Kettering Police for allegedly “causing a disturbance by shoving people in an attempt to get closer to the stage area,” according to the Dayton Daily News.
When the heavenly glow emanating from the legendary 1980s star simply became too much to bear, Muth reportedly charged ahead, perhaps in an effort to finally show the world that all those karaoke performances of “I’ll tumble for ya” had paid off.
We should all be so bold. [Air Force Times]
You can read the whole thing at the link, but the Air Force Times author must have been laughing the entire time he wrote this article. Unsurprisingly too much alcohol was involved in this incident.
I am more amazed Boy George and the Thompson Twins are still touring….
I was too FlyingSword. At very least his arrest and behavior SHOULD result in a command directed urinalysis, so hopefully the journalist will do a follow-up on those results. As a former drug dog handler I can say hospital workers were far and away the biggest users on base — followed by Air Traffic Control, Civil Engineering, Security Police, then maintenance and ammo.
Does he get more or less punishment than the dog park, subordinate mooch lady?
