► Dirty Dancing
They liad die time of their live*.
And they may have a police record to prove it,
Two 20-year-olds, one a student at Florida State l/.. were
arrested for having sex on a dame floor amid more than 100
people in February at a Tallahassee. Fla.. nightclub
‘Tires were completely exposed from the waist down," sard
Police Department spokesman Phil Kiracofe. " Hu- guy was quite
into what he was doing. He didn't want to be interrupted. *
The titan, a first-year student at FSU, prestmiably was too Inisy
to notice when two officers walked up behind him and his
cohort, a female Tallahassee resident. Neither of die mingler*
would comment on die event afterward, but the man told offi
cers he had met the woman that night on the dance floor and
did not know her name. Kiracofe said the couple's technique
was a vertical stance against the wall. After the authorities initiat
ed coitus interrupts, Kiracofr said, the two dancers quickly
regained their senses and modesty, as they scurried to pull up
their pants -|Thc crowd) started cheering, laughing and clap
ping.* Kiracofr said.
Steve, a bartender at the club, was working when die incident
occurred. “A lot of wild things have happened here in the past,
but this was dirty dancing to the extreme." he said.
The dirty dancers were charged with disorderly conduct and
released until their court hearing. »J«tl Riaberg, Florida
