Firemanperson Steve Cole

Sometimes the funniest stuff can be found in police reports.

While we don’t want to kick a guy person while they are down, especially a public service employee, this story warrants the exposure.

The photos above and below are of Steven S. Cole, 46, Waynesville, Ohio, a volunteer fireman firefighter who was arrested after a bizarre series of actions at a local family park.

Here is an eye witness account from a man who was at the park with his wife and their 6 year old daughter who was zipping around on her pink Barbie Princess scooter:

“It was like this freak show, I was a little taken by surprise by what I’d seen there. It was out of place with what should have been going on over there, that’s for sure.”

The witness then said he saw what appeared to be a naked person on the bike path, fondling or exposing himself or herself. The person seemed to be scared off moments later by a jogger. The individual then hopped into a parked blue Ford F-150 pickup truck with red emergency lights on top and he realized the person was a man.

“My wife said, “It’s a lady,’ and I was like, ‘No, it’s not a lady.’”

He then called police on his cell phone.

“There’s a man out here dressed up in a wig and women’s two-piece bikini freaking people out in the park,” he told a 911 dispatcher. “It’s inappropriate and I’d like somebody to come check this guy out. The guy is actually trying to leave the park now.”

Mason Police Officer Scott Miller pulled the truck over. His report states:

“I observed Cole to be wearing a very skimpy woman’s … bikini with two tan water balloons taped to the top to simulate two woman’s breasts and a pair of pink Speedo flip-flop sandals.”

“I asked Cole what he was doing wearing a woman’s bikini at the park where families frequent,” Miller wrote. “Cole did state he was headed to a ‘gay bar’ in Dayton to perform as a woman for a $10,000 prize.”

Police found an open, half-empty 40-ounce bottle of Budweiser in Cole’s truck. They also found a black gym bag with more blond wigs, women’s bikinis, long silver go-go boots and other women’s garments.

Cole’s blood-alcohol test registered 0.174, more than twice Ohio’s legal limit of 0.08.

Water balloons? Go-go boots? Sadly for Cole, these photos are going to follow him around for the rest of his life. Hard to imagine him ever being able to fit into the reportedly frat-boy culture of most fire departments. Furthermore, the horizontal stripes on his bikini make him look fat.
