From the “great ways to get out of jury duty” and the “stroke of luck” departments comes this…
A grand juror was charged yesterday with fondling himself in Brooklyn Federal Court’s jury assembly room, authorities said.
Edwin Ng was caught in the lewd act by a courthouse employee stocking a vending machine, authorities said. She alerted U.S. marshals, who immediately busted Ng. The juror was on a break at the time.
Ng, 38, of Brooklyn, who is unemployed, was issued summonses for disorderly conduct, public lewdness and destruction of government property – the room’s green carpet. He was discharged from jury duty.
The city is taking this quite seriously. I hear they’ve even called in the elite “BCRSRCT” (Bill Clinton Rapid Semen Response Cleanup Team) to get rid of the mess quietly and quickly before anyone notices.
