-Lurid Crime Tales-
Naked Couple Hospitalized Following Wreck
2007-08-02
This was atop the talk radio stations in both San Antonio and Austin. New Braunfels policeman quoted, "Well, they do things differently in Austin."
Decided to remove their wet clothing after day at Schlitterbahn
a huge water park (slides and the like)
One state trooper says he's never seen anything like it.
Doesn't get out much, does he ...
A couple, leaving Schlitterbahn Water Park in New Braunfels, decided that their wet clothes were too uncomfortable for the drive back to Austin. So the man and woman, identified as Lisa Marie Bishop, 25, and Robert Ridden, 26, decided to shed their clothes and drive back home naked.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Under Texas law, you're not committing a crime if you're naked where nobody can see you. And with tinted windshields, being naked inside an SUV might not in and of itself be against the law.

But troopers say the couple was drinking.
Roadie!
And it got even worse, when they got into an accident north of New Braunfels. The woman, who was at the wheel, missed a curve and slammed head on into a truck. Both are now wearing hospital gowns in San Antonio, the man in serious condition and the woman less seriously injured.

State Trooper Rick Alvarez says beer cans and the couple's wet clothing were still in the SUV. Channeling Marilyn Monroe, Alvarez said, 'the only thing they had on was the radio.'

No charges are expected.

#5  Well, since I am a classical music fan, and have been working in a radioless office all this day, I can only thank my lucky stars I have been spared the outpouring of wit...

At least, they didn't havta worry about the emergency room crew seeing their underwear!

But Schlitterbahn is a really terrific waterpark, although the way it's been raining in South Texas all summer, most suburban streets have been doing a very nice imitation of a water flume off and on over the last couple of months!
