Maura-Fussell This makes me think the The Shamrock Crawl can lead to more cherished memories than I realized. It’s a tradition I underestimated. As they say, “Virginia is for Lovers”.

For the Washington Post, Tom Jackman reports: What do you get when you cross love with a pub crawl in Arlington? Why, a naked woman (allegedly!) outside the Arlington County jail, of course… From ARLNow.com:

A 26-year-old Reston woman was arrested Saturday night after allegedly showing up naked at the Arlington Magistrate’s Office.

Police say Maura Fussell arrived at the magistrate’s office around 11:00 p.m. seeking to visit her husband, who had been arrested in Clarendon earlier that day. She was drunk, completely naked and refused to get dressed or leave in a cab, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.

Sternbeck was unable to say whether Fussell arrived at the office wearing clothes and subsequently removed them, or whether she arrived there naked. Fussell was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and drunk in public. She was held in jail until sober, police said.

The woman “was given several opportunities to put her clothes back on,” Sternbeck said, “exit the magistrate’s office and go home in a cab. But she refused and took the charges,” which meant spending the night in the county jail.

Maura Fussell, 26, of Reston, was charged with indecent exposure and being drunk in public. Sternbeck said that during pub crawls around Arlington, “our officers frequently give these people an opportunity to take a cab. They frequently don’t want to do that.”
