Nebraska isn't known for being the most exciting place in the world to live. Perhaps that's what prompted Nebraskan Thomas Larvie to embark on his unique series of crimes that brought him a momentary 15-minutes of fame.
The 35-year-old began his naughty deeds way back in early 2007, when he started leaving impressions of certain parts of his anatomy on the windows of churches, businesses and schools in the area where he lived. Reportedly, he first slathered himself in petroleum jelly or greasy lubricants, before making his "mark".
Not surprisingly, the offended citizens were not very happy with the anonymous mischief-maker.
Before being caught, however, he attained a sort of weird celebrity, by being labeled the "Butt Bandit" by locals in Valentine, Nebraska, even though he, technically, never stole anything from any of the establishments he vandalized.
Well, of course, Larvie's disgusting crime spiral was fated to come to a close and. When authorities found out that he was the sicko leaving his special...er...
"imprint", the cops promptly arrested him and his high-profile butt in mid-November.
He was charged with disturbing the peace and public indecency and given a sentence of a year in the "Big House" for his tacky exploits.
