Cricket streaker appears in Barbados court

(Barbados Nation) Yesterday, the fully-clothed 20-year-old Michael Arthur Francis Marshall was again the centre of attention, this time as he stood in the dock of the District “A” Magistrates’ Court.

The student, who was staying at Trevondor, Welches, Christ Church, confessed that he wilfully, openly, lewdly and obscenely exposed his person – as can be attested to by cricket fans the world over – at Kensington Oval, a public place and that having lawfully entered the Oval, on January 21, he misconducted himself in an annoying manner.

Magistrate Graveney Bannister ordered a pre-sentencing report on the first-time offender and adjourned sentencing until March 9.

Marshall is on $10 000 bail with a surety.

The court heard, from prosecutor Sergeant Peter Barrow that the cricket fan went to the Oval to watch T20 cricket. However, during the Barbados/Trinidad and Tobago encounter the young man took the opportunity to run across the field, naked, from the Party Stand.

He was caught and arrested.
