This is not something you hear everyday
Two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders who allegedly were having sex with each other in a bathroom stall at a Tampa, Fla., nightclub were arrested and charged early Sunday following a run-in with patrons and police.
According to a police report obtained by the Charlotte Observer, 22-year-old Kristen Lanier Owen and 26-year-old Angela Ellen Keathley were arrested following an incident at Banana Joe's, in Tampa's Channelside district, at 2:10 a.m. ET.
The police report claims Owen and Keathley were having sex with each other in a stall when other patrons grew angry that the two were taking so long in the bathroom.
Owen and another person began arguing and Owen hit that person in the face, according to the report. Keathley, who was escorted from the nightclub, was so drunk she could barely stand, the report said. Police described Keathley as rude and belligerent with police.
Owen was charged with battery and Keathley was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Other Panthers cheerleaders bailed Owen and Keathley out of the Orient Road Jail late Sunday morning, the Observer reported.
The cheerleaders made the trip to Tampa on their own -- the squad is on the sideline only at home games. Panthers officials at Sunday afternoon's game said they were aware of the report, but declined further comment when contacted by the Observer.
According to the Panthers' official team Web site on NFL.com, Keathley is a registered nurse and second-year member of the TopCats. Owen is listed as a student at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and first-year member of the cheerleading squad.
