Gun and Weed-wielding Man Caught Masturbating In Prospect Park

This past Thursday at approximately 3:30pm, 53 year-old Glen Perouza decided to go for a trifecta of creepiness in front of a kids’ Prospect Park tour. We're talking masturbation, weapons and drugs. Parks Department Urban Park Ranger* Andrew Marsala was giving children an educational tour in Prospect Park when he spotted Perouza allegedly masturbating. Perouza tried to run away but Marsala chased him down. While waiting for the cops to show up, Marsala found weed in Perouza’s pocket. Later on, the cops fund a loaded gun in his car.

That’s fucked up. What kind of a day did this guy have that he ended up masturbating in public, while also carrying drugs and a gun? Any one of those is in public is a bad idea. He went for all three. And there were children involved.

Mad props to Ranger Marsala. He took it upon himself to do something instead of just calling the cops and running away. If I saw a dude jacking off in the park, I wouldn’t have chased him. I probably would have left the kids to fend for themselves. Marsala chose to kick ass. Thanks to his actions, Perouza has been arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of marijuana, and indecent exposure.

*That’s a comically long job title.
