Man Accused of Masturbating at Annapolis Starbucks
What a headline to read
on page eleven
of the local newspaper.
The twenty-eight-year-old man
faces up to nine years in jail.
A woman who entered the Starbucks
for a cup of coffee observed the man
sitting at a table near the entrance,
his right hand moving “rapidly”
inside his sweatpants. She screamed.
The man fled next door
to a fast-food chicken restaurant
where he was arrested,
his trial, scheduled
six weeks from now,
in Annapolis District Court.
