Texas Woman Found Half-Naked With Sex Toys And Loaded Gun In Naperville Motel Parking Lot

Once in a while, every parent needs to get away from the kids and have a little alone time.

That's exactly what Vicki Myers, a 44-year-old Texas woman, was looking for last Friday night, as she left her three kids in her room at a Naperville, Illinois Red Roof Inn and headed out to her van in the parking lot.

When police officers shined a light into the van window, they found Myers in quite a compromised position: naked from the waist up, with a loaded pistol and a handful of sex toys in the van with her.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

"She originally told officers she was changing," Naperville police Sgt. Gregg Bell said, but later changed her story to say that she went into the van to pleasure herself. "She had some sexual devices in the van."

She wasn't charged with leaving her children alone in the room, because they were old enough to be alone legally, Bell told the Sun-Times. But Myers faces gun charges for not having a valid registration card; she told police she thought it was legal to have the gun in her van, as it is in Texas.

Oddly enough, this isn't the only sex toy-related crime to come out of the suburbs in recent days. Earlier this month, a Gurnee woman was approached by police over a drunken dine-and-dash. She told officers she had money at home, only to go into her bedroom, come out with a "rigid feminine pleasure device," and try to attack a policeman with it.

At least Myers can say she wasn't using her feminine pleasure devices for anything but their intended purpose.

Way to go Naperville PD! I live here and my neighbors house just got robbed and no cop in sight but they nail this woman! I for one can sleep tonight knowing though my house may be robbed because they were far too busy going after a woman having fun for one in her van!

agree with others -- yes I read the damn article and thus contributed to HuffPo's numbers, but feel revulsion just the same by the Naperville police & HuffPo's violation of this woman's privacy. On the other hand, maybe she shouldn't be carrying around a loaded gun -- and on that score I see some public value in her public humiliation. There's a lesson in this for all the gun nuts out there, but it's a lesson that will go over most people's heads. Huff Po might have done a better job in this regard.

I just wrote an email to HuffPo, using their contact form:
----

Dear Sir or Madam,

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/16/vicki-myers-found-halfnak_n_784482.html

I read with disgust the article about the Texas woman who got caught in a very private moment.

Private moment.

And yet that didn't stop YOU from posting that woman's name and her picture on the frontpage of the Huffington Post, a news site which - as you certainly know - is being read world wide, Texas wide and certainly Naperville wide.

Thanks to you, her kids, her neighbours, her neighbours' kids, her kids' friends and her employer, her colleagues and her friends know now what she did.

And even worse than that: You enjoyed exposing her, judging from the smug tone in the last sentence in this article!

I herby demand that you take down this article immediately and never ruin other people's lifes for laughs ever again!

The fact that the police have reported the details of this is a travesty.

I demand that Huffingtonpost removes this article!

This kind of reporting isn't news and it only serves to ruin the life of a family.
It probably already has.

There should be some ethical guidelines for news sites that HuffPo has to stick to, and "Don't ruin a person's life for laughs!" must be one of them!

Please DEMAND that this article be taken down and that they never do something like this again!

Use the email button or contact them directly if you can.

So, did they just find the gun in the search or was she using it?

I'd like to request that in the future, both journalists and editors at this site take the time to think a little harder before articles are posted that make national spectacles of citizens who really didn't do anything large enough to warrant the attention. There is really no excuse for this woman and her children to be humiliated in the national spotlight right now over the "crime" she committed. I'm embarassed for her, I'm embarassed for her kids, and frankly I'm embarassed for the Huffington Post for the shocking lack of standards and sense of responsibility where the general public are concerned.

Lest we needlessly self censor, let's see if she struts for Oprah or Jerry Springer or Maury Povich first.

I think the story as an entertaining human foible storyis fine, but her name should be redacted to avoid lasting harm

If that woman was voluntarily offering her experience to Huffpo for our consumption, I would have no problem with the article. But Huffpo didn't quote her or in any way allude to her willing participation in the exposure.

It doesn't matter to me what she does AFTER she has already been involuntarily exposed. If she wants to take advantage of the opportunity it provides, that's her right to do so. It doesn't change how I feel about making spectacles out of people (without their permission).

Well said. I have to wonder -- has HuffPo hired some ex-Enquirer "journalists"?

They don't hire. None of the writers here are paid.
