Do These Look Like the Faces of a Couple Arrested for Banging in a Courthouse Stairwell?
Source – A couple caught having sex in the stairwell of a Louisiana courthouse is facing obscenity charges.
The Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office says 20-year-old Miguel Glorioso, of Alexandria, and 19-year-old Jamie Lee Coutee, of Pineville, were arrested after a courthouse employee investigating a report of a commotion in the stairwell found the couple having sex. …
The couple fled but an employee identified the man as an inmate trusty assigned to a cleaning detail at the courthouse. Glorioso’s trusty status was stripped and he’s been removed from the detail. He’s serving time for drug charges.
The woman was found in Alexandria and arrested. She’s free on $1,500 bond. She also faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in August.
As one of the rare people who actually left the Massachusetts court system, I can honestly say this story inspires me. I pulled 17 years of duty working for the courts. And I can tell you first hand they are not the kinds of places you expect to find romance blossom like it did for these two star-crossed lovers. The courts are filled the desperate. The hopeless. The downtrodden. The incompetent. The wretched refuse. People with no life skills whatsoever. And that’s just the employees. The defendants are usually even worse. It’s like every morning when the doors open up, God has put humanity into a big barrel and whatever sediment drifts to the bottom comes streaming through that metal detector. If there’s a place you think less about getting laid in a stairwell, I shudder to imagine what a wretched hive of scum and villainy it must be.
So enter these two crazy kids, Miguel and Jamie Lee. Just so caught up in the throes of passion that even a filthy stairwell (I guarantee it was filthy. Those places only get cleaned by people working off their community service hours like Miguel Glorioso here. They’re not exactly Marine recruits trying to pass the “white glove” test.) trodden a thousand times a day by junkies, criminals and mental defectives could keep them from wanting it. Bad. I mean, look at that smile on Jamie Lee’s face. Ear to ear, baby. That’s the glowing, satisfied look of a young lady who’s found love in a hopeless place. Instead of handing them criminal charges, the court ought to be handing them a gift card to a nice dinner out and a dozen roses to celebrate their newfound, lewd and lascivious romance. It just makes you feel good. I’m sure that whenever these two have paid their debt to society, they’ll have a long and happy life together.
