    Lawyer with bed bugs falling from clothing forces courthouse to close

    "A lawyer wearing a suit full of bed bugs prompted officials at a courthouse in Oklahoma to close the building Monday and bring in an exterminator.

    The incident happened at the Rogers County Courthouse around noon, when, according to the sheriff, an attorney appeared in the building’s third-floor courtroom with the insects falling off his clothing, KMTV and KOKI-TV reported.

    Officials told KOKI-TV the building was closed Monday as a precaution.
    “(It’s) hard to imagine someone doesn’t know, you know, that some bed bugs are crawling all over them, certainly in abundance,” Sheriff Scott Walton told KMTV.

    “I was also told the individual that had them also shook his jacket all over the prosecutor’s files,” Walton said.

    Another courthouse official said the lawyer was “non-responsive to the situation” and didn’t seem to care.


    Exterminators worked for most of Monday fumigating the 90,000 square-foot courthouse, which reopened Tuesday morning, according to KOKI-TV."

    LoL... I don't know why this struck me funny. I know it is gross. Maybe the guy is loosing his marbles. Perhaps he got bitten by one too many bed bugs. Sounds like an X file. LoL, seriously though....

    I can't imagine who his clients are. He certainly knows how to clear a room. Could be a good strategy if you need a delay!

    This doesn’t sound right. I don’t see how this can be possible.

    Reality is often even stranger than fiction. This story makes me itch, reflexively. Does the lawyer live in a bed bug infested flop house? If so, is he a substance abuser?

    There's a picture of the Court House, tented for fumigation.


    Crazy as it is, it's not a hoax. The legitimate media has been running the story:

    We tell our clients: “do not sit on the furniture” in the public waiting area at the county courthouse in Cleveland bc of bedbugs.
