City contractor arrested for, uh, reading meters

Last year we talked about the shocking news that some folks go to Memorial Park for, uh, recreation of a different kind. No, really! And it's come up in the news a couple of times since then, but now we have a new twist: A city contract worker has been arrested for allegedly masturbating while driving around the park — while wearing his uniform. Smart.

Andrew Jaime, 19, was nabbed after a female jogger reported that he was following her in his car, exposing and touching himself. "He had driven by her a couple of times," HPD bicycle officer Randy Upton told Channel 11. At the time, Jaime was supposed to be reading meters for the city, but KTRK reports Jaime still had his pants down when a police officer walked up to his truck to confront him. There's no record of his reaction, but we hope he saw the opportunity to coin a new euphemism:

Cop: "Excuse me, sir, but what are you doing here with your pants down?"

Jaime: "Oh, sorry, officer. I was just doing a little meter reading, if you know what I mean."

Thanks, ladies and germs. We're here all week!
