Federal Prosecutor Busted for Swimming in His Boxers

Sean Cronin is charged with lewd and lascivious conduct for skinny dip in pool

And the "Bonehead Play of the Day" award from this Sunday goes to a Miami federal prosecutor who had ants in his pants while he watched football.

Sean Cronin, 35, was arrested after he decided to do a victory lap in a local bar's pool in his boxers, the Miami Herald reported.

That's what's called in legal circles as being caught with your pants down.

Cronin was watching the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills when he decided it was a little warm at Finnegan's on the River, a bar with a pool in downtown Miami. So the man who is used to sending people to prison jumped into the water in his undies.

But not everything stayed in his trousers when he got out of the water, according to the police report. His genitalia and rump were showing.

A woman and her daughter were sitting by the pool and were grossed out by the celebration and called police.

Cronin tried to make a wet getaway, but was run down by police after he jumped several fences. He is charged with misdemeanor lewd and lascivious exhibition and nonviolent obstruction of justice.

We are also throwing in one count of stupidity and another charge of rooting for the wrong team.

Cronin, who prosecutes federal drug cases, is also the same prosecutor that nearly lost his job last year after he and a colleague were caught eavesdropping on a defendant's privileged phone calls that ultimately led to the man being acquitted.
