Pitcher Arrested for Receiving Oral Sex from Prostitute

Colorado Rockies pitcher Denny Neagle was arrested Friday for receiving a blowjob from a prostitute. This story from the Rocky Mountain News is worth a read, because it’s funny.

Some gems include:

Neagle, 36, of Morrison, told Lakewood police he was "being stupid," according to a police report.

…

When Neagle reached for his wallet, the officer noticed the pitcher's belt was undone.

When asked why it was unbuckled, Neagle told the officer he was just getting comfortable.

But the woman who was in the car with Neagle, Jill Russell, 40, told police that she had performed oral sex on him for $40. She was issued a summons for prostitution.

Smooth excuse, Denny. You’d think for $40 he could maybe get someone a bit younger. Or maybe I’ve got the prostitution market all wrong. Regardless, here is a picture of Neagle’s wife, and while I don’t know what this woman looks like, based on these photos of recent prostitution arrests in St. Paul, I have to question Neagle’s sanity.

And finally, in what was by far the funniest line of the article:

Police ticketed Neagle for solicitation of prostitution, seized his $40 as evidence and explained his upcoming court date, to which Neagle responded:

"OK."
