Woman calls cops worried semen in thermos might explode

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida woman trying to get pregnant via artificial insemination called police because she feared the thermos she was using to store sperm and dry ice might explode.

Felicia Nevins sought the Pasco County Sheriff's Office help after she forgot to remove a rubber O-ring from the container.

The next thing Nevins knew, the incident was all over social media. That's because the sheriff's office posted details on Facebook.

Nevins told the Tampa Bay Times (https://tinyurl.com/n39d942 ) she was upset because the post was not removed Friday. Nevins was not identified by name but she said she was mortified that enough information was posted for her to be identified.

2. I'm gonna side with Florida Woman on this one

If the cops posted it as a "funny-funny" on their FB page containing enough detail that a camera crew showed up at her house that night (slow news day in Pasco County, or what?) then yeah, I don't blame her for being pissed.

I mean, look, yes, ha ha exploding sperm, but I can see how this kind of behavior by the sheriff's department might cause citizens to avoid contacting the authorities for help in a potentially dangerous-yet-also-potentially embarrassing situation, which could lead to someone getting actually hurt.
