Petrusson's sling stunt traumatized two DNR officials and any wildlife unfortunate enough to be in the area.
The two DNR officers who stumbled across Alan Petrusson last Thursday in Ramsey's Dayton Port Roadside Park might need some PTSD counseling.

Officers were on the Mississippi River looking for fishing violations when they spotted the 50-year-old Petrusson near the shore sitting in a sling. Blindfolded with legs spread, his wrists and ankles were tied to trees. His jean shorts were unzipped to expose his genitals.

The DNR officers understandably wanted nothing to do with Petrusson, so they called police. When police arrived, they found Petrusson out of the sling, walking on the shore. He told officers he was just relaxing in the sling and didn't realize his nuts were exposed.

Ramsey Police Chief Jim Way doesn't buy Petrusson's version of events. He told WCCO that lots of anonymous male-on-male sexing goes down in Dayton Port Roadside Park.

"It's been going on for at least 10 years," Way said, adding that those wanting sex use signals such as turning on their car lights or rolling their windows half-way down to show other men they're interested. Or, you know, sitting spread-eagled in a sling with their balls out.

Officers found porn in Petrusson's car. He later admitted to police that he used rope found near the sling to tie himself up. Petrusson was arrested and could face a misdemeanor indecent exposure charge.

For God's sake, Alan, get a room.

Try that in a Phoenix park, and his cut-off nuts would be in his mouth and his wallet and car stolen.Arizona isn't a safe place, you snowbirds remember that.

A few years ago I went fishing along the shore of the Mississippi down by the U. I was there about an hour and must have encountered at least six creepy old dudes poppining out of the bushes. They weren't very subtle and it wasn't hard to tell what they were doing. Don't these old men know how to use computers? Trolling the bushes along river banks. Geez. [shaking head].

This is so crazy! Sometimes I go out to shoot photos of birds, plants and other shit down in lilydale. near the boat launch. there are tons of creepy old dudes trying to have sex with other creepy old dudes.  I was followed by three different men looking for hot creepy man on man action.  I was confused, i am just a young petite male in his twenties.  I felt like a 90 lb white woman on lake shore drive.  it was fucked!

It ain't the 1970's, Alan.  Try the internet, social networking, porn sites, Adam 4 Adam, Manhunt. The freaking Gay 90's happy hour bar.... No reason to go bopping around a park for sex.

Turning on their car lights and rolling windows down half way.  Not real creative.  I agree with swnmguy.  As long as it's not hurting society, pull your nuts out all you want behind well marked doors.

My.  How....um.

Maybe we should set up places where people like this can go and meet each other and do whatever it is they want to do.  Someplace well-marked, so none of the rest of us have to risk happening upon them.
