BELLEVUE, Ohio -- Felony indecency charges against a Bellevue man accused of lewd behavior on a deck behind his house have been dismissed, the Toledo Blade reported.

Police said a neighbor in Bellevue videotaped Art Price having sex -- termed as "relations" -- with his picnic table on four separate occasions, WEWS-TV in Cleveland reported.

Price was charged with four counts of public indecency.

Usually misdemeanors, the charges were felonies in this case because Price lives within view of an elementary school and the alleged acts could have been seen by a minor, the television station reported.

According to the Toledo Blade, Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler said the evidence didn't support felony charges and other charges could be filed.

1. LOL! Phew, glad that's over with! nt

[blm]

2. Ran out of Mudhens?

9. Hah!

I feel sorry for the umbrella, having to just stand around and watch.

[blm]

12. Chauncey Gardner?

Perhaps the umbrella liked to watch?

[TomInTib]

14. Wouldn't it then be an accessory?

Oh, wait, it already is.

Should this case make it to court, I wonder if they will put the umbella on the stand.

15. Judge: "Your story is rather shady."

:hide:

[TomInTib]

19. So, not exactly an Open and Shut case, eh?

[Sparkly]

20. Nope -- but sooner or later somebody's gotta fold.

[Fredda Weinberg]

3. It must have been his favorite table ...

When did we stop learning to simply look away?

[Systematic Chaos]

4. So the guy has a really... strange... object fetish. I doubt he meant to hurt anyone else.

I'd let him off with a reprimand and a warning to keep his nakedness indoors. I'd also offer counseling if he felt he needed it.

Other than that it doesn't sound like he's harmed anyone else so just let it drop.

There are far bigger fish to fry. Like maybe the neighbors who filled up three DVDs recording him? :wtf: is their fixation??

[Arkansas Granny]

5. How do you . . . . . . . . . . never mind.

[hisownpetard]

6. Splinters, anyone?

Great title of this OP, btw.

[TomInTib]

10. I feel sorry for the umbrella.

Just hanging around, watching.

[Orsino]

7. The table wouldn't press charges.

So he's back on the patio again.

[spanone]

8. damn, i like my picnic table but not quite that much

[TomInTib]

11. I wonder where he got the idea.

Maybe his gutter downpipe was clogged.

[hisownpetard]

16. Maybe he has a bad back and was scrubbing some barbecue sauce off the table

in his own unique way...

[TomInTib]

18. Well, I could understand that.

Because, after all, I have my own personal technique when it comes to mopping floors.

[hisownpetard]

24. DUzy ALERT!!!! DUzy ALERT!!! And, btw, what are you doing tonight?

:headbang: :blush: :headbang:

[TomInTib]

28. Well, with any luck...

I could/should be mopping floors in a house on the Cape.

But, alas, I could not get a flight.

[timtom]

13. I'm no legal expert....

but, isn't the guy who videotaped all of this guilty of some crime?

[htuttle]

17. I bet he spends a lot of time browsing through IKEA's website...

[Hobarticus]

21. Prosecutor: this case didn't have six legs to stand on...

Sorry, can't help myself...

[Solly Mack]

22. Only because the dining table rejected his advances

or maybe the dining table only gives oral...

[pleah]

23. Why wasn't the neighbor charged as a 'peeping tom'?

I guess he was getting his jollies as well!:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

25. How do you know it wasn't a peeping Tomasina?

Edit: I left out a p!

[hisownpetard]

26. Isn't he the guy who originally called it a "woody"?

[Jed Dilligan]

27. Did the umbrella get jealous?

[TomInTib]

29. The guy better hope that the umbrella doesn't take the stand. nt
