OCEAN CITY (12/24/2004) - An attempt by a Chesapeake City, Md. man to introduce an organic gasoline additive to a stranger’s gas tank ended in his arrest for malicious destruction and disorderly intoxication.

John Adam Wesolowski, 24, was arrested early Sunday morning after a witness told police he saw him urinate into a car’s gas tank. The witness called police from a cell phone after he said he Wesolowski approach a 2005 Pontiac Gran Prix, unscrew the gas cap, place his penis in the receptacle and then urinate.

Ocean City Police Department Pfc. Freddie Howard, Sgt. Howard Whaley and Officer James Rodriguez responded to the call. The officers spoke with the witness in the parking lot of the Ramada Inn at 42nd Street.

The officers approached the car and found a puddle of liquid on the asphalt underneath the fuel tank opening. Wesolowski was located a short time later.

According to court records, the officers saw that Wesolowski had a large wet spot on the front of his pants. He also appeared to be highly intoxicated and reportedly said he had consumed several beers that night.

Wesolowski told the officers he did not know the owner of the car and had apparently picked it at random. The damage to the car was estimated to be under $10.

Wesolowski was arrested and charged with malicious destruction and disorderly intoxication. After his arrest, officers found a can of beer in Wesolowski’s jeans.

5. So the witness saw the guy

1) approach a 2005 Pontiac Gran Prix - check
2) unscrew the gas cap - check
3) place his penis in the receptacle - check
4) then urinate - Hey wait. If the guy's penis is in the receptacle, the witness could not have seen this. How do we know the guy didn't have his penis in there for another reason?

6. Perhaps the car and the man were having consensual sex?

8. This was a Mythbusters episode

well, not this guy specifically, but the 'peeing in a gas tank will destroy the engine' myth.

results:
pee - no effect
sugar - no effect
bleach - killed the engine (its an oxidizer, and causes the inside of the tank to rust)
mothballs - actually makes the engine sound better (but not recommended)

9. This guy sounds like someone...

... after Bush's own heart. If the White House reads about this, you can be certain he's next in line for Dept. of Homeland Security secretary. :P
