Add “moto-wanking” to the list of bizarre (and illegal) things prominent Tennesseans have done while driving:
A former alderman and vice mayor from Mount Carmel, Tennessee, has been arrested on charges of indecent exposure after a female motorist said he “‘fondled himself’ and made obscene gestures while they drove beside each other on Interstate 26.” William Lee Blakely, 30, had previously been investigated on similar charges in 2010, but the case was dropped when the woman who initially reported that incident “declined to move forward with the prosecution to avoid embarrassment.” At a preliminary hearing in the new case, three women testified that they had witnessed Blakely exposing himself on the freeway at high speeds.
I’m not sure what it is about Tennessee but apparently we do all sorts of odd things in our cars. We had ex-Republican House member Julia Hurley’s infamous “dog-surfing” incident, and then we have Rep. Curry Todd’s DUI-with-a-gun incident. We’ve got this teenager who stole a big rig, causing a multi-car accident on I-15 in California, all because he thought zombies were chasing him. And don’t even get me started on the whole why-can’t-people-in-Williamson-County-drive thing.
Sigh.
Seriously, I’d feel sorry for William Blakely but apparently he’s a habitual moto-wanker. And driving down the interstate at 90 mph with your dick out the window is just not safe, on so many levels. Dude needs to get some help, and I hope he finds it.
