October 27, 2007
Braddock, TX. A Braddock County man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after Sheriff's deputies said he was found in a compromising position with an inflatable doll in a public restroom.

At 12:47 p.m., Jonathan Oliver Blair, III, 42, Brownview Apartments, was found lying on the floor in the Children's bathroom inside the Braddock County Public Library, 100 Kemellia Ave. by a Braddock county Sheriff's Deputy, according to the official complaint filed against him.

According to the criminal complaint, Blair, who was wearing a "turd costume" had the lower portion of the costume around his ankles. He was "lying next to an anatomically correct male inflatable doll."

Paraprofessional Librarian, Chad Folsum who heard an odd noise which he described sounding like "the mass-raping of squirrels" contacted a deputy who had just arrived after delivering paperwork on another incident involving Blair. Deputy David Hoagland, who found Blair in the Children's bathroom, could not comment on the incident.

Blair remained in the Braddock County Jail Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure. Folsum was suspended for a month without pay by Library Director Kelly Millis for failing to obtain permission from Millis to talk to the deputy. On a side note, Kelly Millis was not at the library at the time of the incident.

Asked whether Blair was banned from the library, Millis responded "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It is up to Judge Jennings whether this fine gentleman, Mr. Blair, is banned."

A hearing on the case and whether Blair will be banned from Braddock County Public Library is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 am. Presiding will be Judge William J. Jennings.
