Travis Husnik and Heather Basten were charged with lewd and lascivious behavior and disorderly conduct in Wisconsin. They were pulled over for drunk driving and were being transported to the Oconto County Jail. While on their way to the jail, they started having sex with each other. The police officer stopped them and ordered him to sit in the front seat and made him pull his pants up. Judge Conley told them that their behavior was completely disrespectful. They were just recently sentenced. Husnik had served 90 days in jail and got credit for his time. Batsen served 48 days for the DUI and disorderly conduct charge and had to pay a $500 fine.
