What, you mean this fairy tale story doesn’t have a happy ending? Well, ain’t that a shame.
According to ARLNow.com, who were the first to report the story, 26-year-old Maura Fussell decided she would go visit her husband at the Arlington County Jail in Reston, Virginia on Saturday, March 15 (he’d been thrown i
n jail earlier that day). Of course, by the time Fussell got around to making her visit, it was around 11 p.m., and she was a lot more drunk and naked than most people stopping by the Arlington Magistrate’s Office.
Sure enough, Fussell was thrown in jail along with her hubby after being offered the opportunity to put her clothes back on and leave, but refusing. This may seem like an odd choice, but according to Arlington police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck, “our officers frequently give these people an opportunity to take a cab. They frequently don’t want to do that.” Fussell was later charged with indecent exposure and being drunk in public.
Not surprisingly, The Shamrock Crawl, apparently Arlington’s biggest bar crawl, was being held the same day from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Whether that was connected to Fussell’s incident is unknown, but as Sternbeck commented, “Anybody who was in Clarendon that afternoon was participating one way or the other.”
