CLEARWATER, FL (WFLA) — Brooke Hill is watching her family a little closer after hearing a street magician tried to pull down a woman’s bikini bottom Sunday evening.
According to the Pinellas County arrest report, Richard Cook was performing Sunday around 8 p.m. when the incident occurred. The report states Cook was doing a trick in which he was trying to make a scarf disappear from his hand when he asked for a volunteer and the victim came forward.
That is when, officials say, he told the victim to keep both hands out in front of her, as he reached down and pulled her bikini bottoms out from her side.
The woman was able to grab her bottoms to not expose herself and told Cook she did not feel comfortable doing the trick. According to the arrest report, Cook responded “you will feel comfortable” and immediately did it again.
