Brain Bleach Alert!
This country is devolving into an insane asylum.
The former vice mayor of Mount Carmel, Tennessee, was seen by several horrified witnesses to be masturbating while driving down the freeway at 90 mph.
Mount Carmel is a town of 5,500 in northeast Tennessee.
Kylie McGivern reports for WJHL Channel 11 that at a preliminary hearing in Kingsport, TN, on April 4, 2013, three women testified against former Mount Carmel Vice-Mayor William Blakely, graphically recounting times he exposed himself while driving.
Kingsport Police Detective Terry Christian said the three women didn’t know each other but gave similar accounts — that they saw Blakely first waving to get their attention, then escalating to honking and partially crossing over into the women’s lane. Each witness testified they were fearful Blakely’s driving would cause an accident.
Witness Deanna Dykes said Blakeley was “Waving, grabbed his shirt, kind of pulled it up.”
Witness Deborah Sturgill said, “I was scared that I was gonna wreck, he was gonna cause me to wreck. He was taking his hand, wetting his mouth, and masturbating.”
Witness Kelly Street said, “After the waving, it turned into a lot of beeping, him grabbing his chest area, and asking me going ‘please, please’ (clasping hands together) with his hands, may I… show me your. At over 90 miles per hour, he had his penis out [the window]… he was masturbating… and that’s when it got really, really bad. I wouldn’t look over any more, and I wrote his tag number down on my hand, which I believe he noticed, and he exited very quickly.”
Detective Christian says it’s Street’s writing down of the license tag number that served as a catalyst for William Blakely’s charges. “It went on for so long and nobody’s addressed it,” Christian said, referring to the dozens of phone calls the department has received over the course of three or four years. Ages of the alleged victims range from 16-65.
Christian says Thursday marked a turning point, when the three women conquered their fear and embarrassment and testified: “It’s important to make that report because if you don’t, they’re gonna feel that they can continue that offense and continue victimizing more females. And that might be your best friend, your daughter, your mother, your aunt, your niece. And you need to make that report because that’s what’s going to eventually stop that type of behavior.”
Blakely is facing charges of indecent and reckless endangerment, and criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault. Judge Toohey referred Blakely to a Sullivan County Grand Jury – scheduled for June 14. According to Detective Christian, several more cases involving Blakely are getting ready to be presented to a grand jury.
No wonder politicians are held in such low repute.
Blakely apparently went from politics to being a realtor. I found a William Blakely, who’s an agent at RE/MAX RESULTS in Mount Carmel, TN.
Here’s a mind cleanser!
