A female soccer fan who
was caught watching a game while topless in the presence of a child has
been charged with “indecent exposure.”
Rose Picklo, 23, was arrested Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium in
Minneapolis after a 7-year-old boy spotted her watching the game,
sitting behind him and his mother, without a shirt on, WCCO-TV reported.
“Don’t look. Just watch the game. That’s what we’re here for,” the boy’s
mother, Tori Hintzman, told the Star Tribune.
Police were notified of Picklo showing “her bare breasts in a section
full of people” at the stadium, which is located on the University of
Minnesota’s campus.
Picklo was reportedly ordered by university police to put a shirt on and
was threatened with arrest, but the soccer fan refused and argued with
authorities.
During the encounter, Picklo said she “was filming the incident” to get
the officers on video.
“I don’t remember a whole lot about what happened,” Picklo told the Star
Tribune. She told the news outlet that she was “on my third beer” during
the event.
Hintzman said that other men watching the game in the area were also not
wearing shirts.
After being handcuffed by two officers, Picklo was subsequently carried
out of the stadium because she refused to walk on her own. She was later
taken to the Hennepin County Jail.
Picklo is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 9. She was charged with
indecent exposure, a gross misdemeanor charge, and could face up to a
year in jail or a $3,000 fine. |
