CapeCodTimes.com – A 19-year-old New York man was charged with disorderly conduct and unlawful wiretap after videotaping a prank at two banks in Truro and Eastham.
According to a police report by Truro Police Sgt. Carrie DeAngelo, Dude Guy of Suffern, N.Y., and his 15-year-old sister entered Seamen’s Bank on Route 6 in Truro and Guy told the teller he wanted to make a deposit, and held up a plastic bag containing a milky white substance.
The teller told him it was not that kind of bank, according to the report.
The teller said the man was straight-faced and appeared to be serious. After the pair left, bank officials alerted other branches. Guy repeated his request at the Eastham branch where tellers noticed the woman was filming the interaction and got a license plate and vehicle description. When stopped by Eastham police, Dude Guy was riding in the car with his sister and his parents. He told police he was making a funny video for a college course.
After DeAngelo arrived at the stop she noticed that Guy was filming her while she was asking questions. Guy handed over the plastic bag saying it was liquid soap. Underneath his sweatshirt, he was wearing a recorder that recorded audio when the camera was on. DeAngelo took possession of the recording equipment to be used as evidence.
His parents became angry and argumentative, DeAngelo wrote, protesting that it was just a joke, and that he didn’t hurt anyone or make any threats. Guy was charged with disorderly conduct and unlawful wiretap for taping people without their consent. On Monday he signed an agreement with prosecutors that allowed him to avoid arraignment and a record as long as he performs 40 hours of community service, is respectful when making future videos, and submits a two-page essay.
Seems like this was inevitable to me. When you name your bank Seamen’s you have to expect that at some point a kid is going to show up with a bag full of fake sperm and a video camera. If they wanted to avoid this situation they should have changed the name of the bank as soon as the first episode of Jackass was aired.
It is nice to see young families out spending time with each other though. It seems like it would be a little awkward for mom and dad to drive around with Dude Guy, his 15 year old sister and a bag full of fake sperm, but who are we to judge? You know what they say, the family that films spank bank pranks together, stays together.
P.S. Hey Dude, if you read this, please send us the video when it is done. We are dying to see it.
