Ultimate Panty Raid Ends

Wednesday January 23, 2008

Question: If you steal 93 pounds of women's undergarments, just how much are you taking? Answer: exactly 1,613 bras and panties.

The bigger question is how much time will you spend in prison-issue skivvies for committing such an act. And we know the answer to that, too, now that Garth Flaherty, a 24-year-old from Washington received a 45-day sentence.

Flaherty pleaded guilty to swiping underwear from various laundry rooms. He was arrested March 24, after police found enough underwear to fill five garbage bags in his bedroom.

In other disturbing laundry room news, Police in Madison, Wis., say they apprehended a 19-year-old who was leaving feces in the clothing and shoes of others using public washing rooms. Somewhere, Dr. Freud is scratching his head.
