Don’t spank the monkey in public.
An Ohio man was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly started masturbating on the sidewalk and “acting like a gorilla,” police said.
Warren police were initially called to Giant Eagle Plaza for a report of two white men taking their clothes off and running around in the parking lot, according to a police report.
When officers arrived on scene, they found Timothy Cook going bananas.
“Cook was sweating profusely, acting like a ‘gorilla’ — was squatting on all fours, punching the blacktop and jumping up and down screaming noncoherently,” according to the report.
Witnesses said that, before cops showed up, the 32-year-old entered the License Bureau, waving his arms around. He then exited the building and started masturbating on the sidewalk.
Authorities treated him with Narcan for an apparent drug overdose and transported him to a local hospital.
Before his ape antics, Cook already had an active felony warrant for drug possession, according to The Smoking Gun. But the hospital declined to put a hold on him so, due to “manpower shortages,” he was released.
The original drug warrant is still active in addition to a new warrant for disorderly conduct.
Osmond LeMaster, the other man allegedly spotted shedding his clothing in the parking lot, was taken into custody and released with a summons for disorderly conduct.
