January 13, 2009 ALPHARETTA - Alpharetta police arrested a 28-year-old Marietta man Jan. 1 and charged him with disorderly conduct after he pulled a little bathroom prank that backfired. His big mistake was doing it in the presence of an off-duty police officer at the Windward Parkway Wild Wing Cafe on New Year's Eve.What's worse, he then confronted the officer - who clearly didn't approve of the joke but hadn't told anyone - and allegedly began harassing him until the uniformed officer who was on New Year's duty stepped in.

According to the incident report, the off-duty officer and suspect were waiting in line for the bathroom when the suspect allegedly tired of waiting and began urinating in the sink while laughing.The off-duty officer told him what he was doing was "nasty" and informed him people need to wash their hands in the sink.

"Other men in the rest room were visibly disturbed, as they too articulated how unsanitary [the suspect's] act was," wrote the officer.Once out of the bathroom, the suspect allegedly began chest bumping the off-duty officer, telling him he didn't "want any static."

This warranted the attention of the uniformed officer on duty. As that cop walked up, the suspect reportedly told the off-duty officer - who had not mentioned he was a law enforcement officer - that he "better not speak up about his public indecency manner in the rest room."

Of course the two officers spoke, at which point the suspect accused them of lying. As a final act of stupidity, as he walked away, the suspect made sure to bump his shoulder into the off-duty officer to show his disapproval."I then informed [the on-duty officer] I would handle the paperwork if he would arrest him for disorderly conduct," wrote the off-duty cop.
