Man found with inflatable doll in public restroom

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- A man was arrested after a government agent allegedly found him in an office building restroom lying next to an inflatable, anatomically correct doll with his pants down.

Craig S. McCullough, 47, was charged Wednesday with indecent exposure, a misdemeanor.

The criminal complaint against McCullough says he was discovered in the public restroom by an agent for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, which is one of the federal agencies that rents space in the Hach office building.

McCullough was arrested, and Cedar Rapids police took him to the Linn County jail. His arraignment was scheduled later Friday, police spokeswoman Cristy Hamblin said.

Another agency has an outstanding warrant against McCullough, but the reason for that warrant was not immediately clear, Hamblin said. He was still in jail Friday morning and it wasn't clear if he had an attorney.

McCullough's criminal record includes a 2004 conviction for burglarizing Just For Me bridal boutique. Shortly after the burglary, police officers found McCullough in a nearby alley, carrying a mannequin wearing a bridal dress.

" This can happen anywhere, even right here in B/N. I was behind a car at a light, the car in front of me was driven by a man. In the passenger seat was a woman. The man was stroking her hair and turning to talk to her. Visual I could see. I passed on the right and came up along side at another light, shocked, see egg on my face, it was a blow up doll in the middle of summer. This man was having a conversation with it at the next light. I wanted to stare, but felt it wasn't appropriate, so I would look off and on until the light changed. The guy put his arm around her and I took off never to forget this. This guy was dead serious!!! But things do happen a lot in Iowa it seems. "

" With all the Republican sex scandals, I figure the guy had to be a republican. Also, he was probably such a conservative that it will turn out he has a wife at home & figured that cheating with a manequin or an inflatable doesn't count since they're not real women. Unlike most conservative republicans, this democrat can think for myself, doesn't need my government to tell me what's right (I have the bible for that) & I sure don't need them smiling & shaking hands with one hand while they reach, once again, with the other for my wallet! "

" look at this guy's history........he can't seem to control himself, caught in an alley stealing a mannequin wearing a bridal gown? so far it's dolls and mannequins he's been caught with...he could be a psycho whose next charge will be kidnapping....so don't laugh, be glad he was caught and has a criminal history in case some young girl in his neighborhood goes missing.

" Wait a minute. How can you be charged for indecent exposure in a bathroom? Bathrooms are the only places where you expect to possibly see nudity of the same sex. Is he being charged because the doll was female...or was it male? "
