Florida man arrested for 'dry humping' stuffed Olaf snowman toy as horrified shoppers look on
A Florida man was arrested on a criminal mischief charge on October 22 after he sexually assaulted a pair of “large stuffed animal toys” inside a Target store.
Cody Christopher Meader, 20, entered the retailer around 2 pm on the day as per a criminal complaint obtained by The Smoking Gun, before approaching a display of merchandise featuring characters from the Disney blockbuster 'Frozen.'
Meader reportedly selected a “large Olaf stuffed animal” before placing it on the floor of the Target in Pinellas Park and proceeding to "dry hump" the cinematic snowman soft toy “until he ejaculated on the merchandise”, the police said.
Once he was done masturbating, Meader placed the contaminated Olaf back in the display shelf and went on to enter the toy department. There, he “selected a large unicorn stuffed animal and began to ‘dry hump’ this item", as per the report.
Meader, who lives in St. Petersburg, was detained inside the store after he was done consorting with the stuffed toys. Responding officers subsequently read Meader his rights before he “admitted to doing ‘stupid stuff’ and admitted that he had ‘nutted’ on the Olaf stuffed animal.”
Police said shopkeepers had no choice but to "remove" the stuffed items from the store floor and destroy them. Meader's father told police that he “has a history of this type of behavior." However, court records do not have any prior criminal cases listed against Meader.
He was later booked into a county jail on a misdemeanor count after being charged with criminal mischief. However, he was released from prison after posting a $150 bond.
In a similar incident in 2015, employees at a Walmart in Brooksville, Florida, saw Sean Johnson, then 19, pick up a stuffed animal from the shelves and masturbating on it.
Officials said at the time the toy had to be destroyed after Johnson picked it from the display and headed towards the bedding department to pleasure himself.
