MTV's Pontius Exposes Self As True Jackass

THONG: Wisconsin man to plead not guilty in panty pilfer spree

OCTOBER 24--What would you expect from a thong-loving guy whose new MTV show is called "Wildboyz" and co-stars the great Steve-O? Early yesterday morning, Miami Beach cops found Chris Pontius, a 29-year-old "Jackass" graduate, passed out on the hood of a car. He was, of course, drunk and naked (but you probably could have figured that one out). When cops woke Pontius, according to the below incident report, he became agitated and told one officer, "I'm going to kick your posterior." Amazingly, the woozy Pontius actually used the word posterior--the term wasn't substituted in the report for the word ass. After Pontius ignored police directions, he was pepper sprayed by cops and bundled off to a local hospital for a mental observation (per Florida's Baker Act). Pontius, whose new series debuts this Sunday, was released after an MTV representative vouched for his, um, sanity. Pontius, who was not charged with a crime, told police that he was not injured, nor was he the victim of foul play or a "prank" by friends. (1 page)
