Pair charged with having sex in Springfield park
.
Police arrested a man and woman Thursday afternoon for having sex in a city park just down the street from the police station, police said.
Officers Emilio Arroyo and Julio Cornejo had just left the station shortly after 3 p.m. when they were flagged down by some children who reported a couple was having sex in plain view at Armory Commons, a small park at Spring and Pearl streets, said police Capt. C. Lee Bennett.
The officers saw the couple in a corner of the park, and each was naked from the waist down, Bennett said.
David Jesse, 51, and Kathleen Ginman, 47, both homeless, were charged with open and gross lewdness.
The police report notes that the couple appeared intoxicated, and when told they were under arrest, one of them replied "Why? We're only having sex."
