Probably most of you have had opportunity to hear the unfortunate events which led to the arrest of 47-year-old Craig McCullough of Cedar Rapids. If you haven’t here are the highlights:
- Boy meets girl.
- Boy buys girl.
- Boy travels to downtown building with girl.
- Boy blows girl up.
- Boy removes trousers.
- Boy lies with fully-inflated girl.
- Boy gets caught.
While there are several things of… ahem… interest in the Gazette article about the incident — such as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent finding boy and girl in a compromising position and the fact that McCullough’s home was only a mile from the public location — the most interesting comes in the last paragraph:
McCullough was convicted in 2004 of burglarizing Just For Me bridal boutique, 709 Third Ave. SE. Officers found him in a nearby alley carrying a mannequin wearing a bridal dress shortly after the burglary occurred.
