A Canadian Export Nobody Asked For

As if the tariffs weren’t bad enough–Nevada’s getting unsolicited imports of the more indecent variety from Canada now.

Last Monday afternoon, travelers along Interstate 80 got treated to an unexpected—some might say unwholesome—spectacle when one Jeffrey Girard, a 49-year-old visitor from the Great White North, decided to engage in a bit of impromptu performance art near the Ryndon Country Store.

Deputies with the Elko County Sheriff’s Office were called around 4:15 p.m. after reports surfaced of a man behaving unbecoming to decent society. Upon locating Girard’s black SUV, officers quickly discovered that his mode of transport was as reckless as his decorum.

The gentleman was allegedly driving up and down the interstate ramps—going the wrong way, no less—before leaping from his vehicle in a state of nature that Adam himself might have found excessive. Witnesses, including some unfortunate children, were subjected to a view they never sought nor shall soon forget.

For his troubles, Mr. Girard was rewarded with a new set of accommodations, courtesy of the Elko County Sheriff’s Office, where he now faces charges of obscene exposure, reckless driving, and treating a divided highway as though it were a mere suggestion.
