Concealed Carry - That's Just Not Right

I caught this at the Volokh Conspiracy. Not sure I really wanted to be informed of this, but I'll share it with you so I'm not the only one with nausea.

EL CERRITO, Calif. - A man was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon after police found him outdoors - naked - and he told them he had a tool in his rectum, authorities said.

The man was lying on a tree stump, masturbating beside a nature path, near a Bay Area Rapid Transit station Thursday, police said.

John Sheehan, 33, of Pittsburg, was initially arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure. But when asked whether he was carrying anything police should know about, Sheehan mentioned the tool, said El Cerrito Detective Cpl. Don Horgan.

"You can't get much more concealed than that," Horgan said.

Officers drew their weapons and firefighters were called to the scene. Sheehan removed a 6-inch metal awl wrapped in black electrical tape without incident.

Sheehan, who was paroled from state prison last week, was then booked into jail on suspicion of parole violations, indecent exposure and one felony count of possessing a concealed weapon.

"When you're talking about an awl or an ice pick and you're dealing with somebody who's fresh out of prison, it's a weapon. That's a stabbing instrument," Horgan said.

Yeah, that's just WRONG. I'm going to guess that this guy is really broken.

I'm a bit baffled that he was arrested for "suspicion" of indecent exposure. Suspicion? He was completely naked. I understand that may be only suspicious in California, but that really strikes me as being obvious and not suspicious.
