Drunk, Pantless Man Told Police His Name Was "Charles Dickens"

It was a Tale of Two Identities.

Vincent Conroy, 56, was allegedly drunk and walking around a Florida parking lot “wearing only a tee shirt with no pants” early Wednesday morning. With his private parts on public display, Conroy was spotted with two wine bottles and a can of beer.

When confronted by police and asked to identify himself, the suspect “provided the name ‘Charles Dickens,’” according to an arrest report. “It was later discovered his name was Vincent Conroy.”

In addition to open container and exposure of sexual organs counts, Conroy was charged with providing a false name to law enforcement. 

After a day locked up in the local bleak house, Conroy was freed Thursday on his own recognizance by a County Judge.
