Locked away in the Orange Police Department’s Evidence Locker No. 22 is a Whizzinator, complete with prosthetic penis and Velcro straps plus urine bag. The man wearing the Whizzinator was busted Wednesday afternoon at the Orange County Adult Probabtion Department. He faces a misdemeanor charge of falsification of a drug test.
The Vidor man’s probation officer became suspicious after the urine specimen he gave was cold in the cup. Apparently the plan to use a hand-warmer to raise the temperature of the tee-tee didn’t work. Police also confiscated a hand-warmer from the man’s underwear.
Officer D.B. Mulhollan reported the probation office called police at 4:25 p.m. Wednesday to the office on Border Street across from the courthouse. The man on probation was arrested and taken to the Orange County Jail. Police did not report what the man was on probation for.

The man dropped the bag, which was later recovered. After the officer got out of the patrol vehicle, the man dropped the bike and began running, but the officer caught him.
Office Goins warned the man to stop or the Taser would be used. She grabbed the man, who pushed away from her. She reported she used the stun gun once and he still wouldn’t follow directions to lie on the ground. The Taser was used a second time. The man went to the ground and was arrested.
