Couple cited for having sex on front lawn of Santa Cruz City Hall

Police cited a man and arrested a woman who allegedly were having sex on the front lawn of City Hall late Wednesday morning.

City employees called 911 around 11:25 a.m. after seeing the couple under a white blanket on the grass near the Human Resources Department, police said.

The couple was still going at it when officers arrived. Police reported they were nude from the waist down.

Zachary Clow, 32, was cited for lewd conduct on public property. Shannon Baltzell, 29, was arrested and taken to County Jail after she refused to sign a ticket for the same offense, police said.

    Ok, I’m sorry, but I kinda feel like rooting for these two. That took b*%ls! (Pardon the pun) HR people are notorious for seeing everything that goes on around them. It was a beautiful day for a little Splendor In The Grass. Maybe they shouldn’t have picked a County building for their escapade. I hear Pleasure Point is named that for more than one reason!

    She should have just signed the citation. It’s just a promise to appear in court. No big deal. Now she got booked into county jail. That’s no fun.
