A 46-year-old volunteer firefighter, wearing a woman's wig and a string bikini, was charged with taking a drunken afternoon romp through Heritage Oak Park in Mason in Ohio.

Steven S. Cole, who pleaded not guilty to the charges of drunken driving, public indecency and disorderly conduct; said he was on his way to a Dayton bar to compete in a contest where the top prize was $10,000. Cole, a fireman from Waynesville thus put on a blonde wig, pink sandals, and a string bikini filled out with tan water balloons.

If this was not enough for his antics, Cole also had a few drinks and his blood alcohol content was gauged at 0.174, more than double the legal driving limit in Ohio, which is 0.08.

AP quotes Cole's lawyer, Charlie Rittgers, as saying, "He is obviously humiliated and embarrassed by the entire situation." Cole is now free on his own recognizance until trial set for May 24.

The bikini-clad firefighter has been working with Wayne Township firefighter since 2000 and is likely to be placed on administrative leave.
