These two gave DUI a whole new meaning — driving under intercourse.
A couple in West Virginia was arrested after police pulled over their stolen RV and allegedly found the duo both in the driver’s seat, totally nude and having drunken sex, according to a criminal complaint.
Authorities pulled over Shannon Bryant, 35, and Matthew McDonnell, 48, while they were driving through Bluefield, West Virginia last Wednesday afternoon.
Matthew McDonnell was arrested after allegedly stealing an RV and trying to have sex with a passenger while driving. The Smoking GunShannon Bryant was allegedly seen straddling McDonnell behind the wheel of the RV, police said. The Smoking Gun
While cops were pulling the vehicle over, they noticed that Bryant was in the driver’s seat straddling McDonnell as the RV tore down the road, according to the complaint obtained by the smoking gun.

When cops approached the driver’s side window, McDonnell was sitting innocently in the passenger’s seat as if nothing had occurred, like a teenager caught in the act.
But Bryant, who “appeared to be highly intoxicated” while sitting in the driver’s seat, had no shame and candidly told the cops “We were f–king’,” Officer R.L. Hamm reported.
The duo were quickly ordered out of the vehicle before Bryant could delve further details on their escapade.
McDonnell reportedly confessed after the two were read their rights and said that they “were naked and attempting to engage in sexual activity while driving” when the police pulled them over.
The pair then scrambled into the opposite seats as the officers approached the RV, he added, trying to play it coy.

When police searched the RV, they found drug paraphernalia inside including a bag of white powder. They also recovered painkillers and a broken glass pipe that Bryant admitted McDonnell had tossed out the window during the stop.
A vehicle check using the VIN number and registration also revealed that the RV-turned-love shack had been stolen from Princeton, a city just 10 miles away.
Drug-using materials were also found in the RV, police said. The Smoking Gun
The disrobed duo were charged with indecent exposure, drug possession, DUI and possession of a stolen vehicle, according to records obtained by the smoking gun.
Despite being caught in the act and admitting to having sex behind the wheel, the couple pleaded not guilty.
McDonnell has a prior criminal record and a warrant out for his arrest in Tazewell County, Virginia, according to court records obtained by WTRF. He is being held on an $8,000 bond.

PENNSBORO, W.Va (WDTV) – Racing enthusiasts around the state had the chance to see vintage race cars and motorcycles at the annual West Virginia Racing Heritage Festival Saturday.
The festival teaches attendants about West Virginia’s history in dirt track racing with both cars and motorcycles.
The festival was held at Pennsboro Speedway, which opened in 1887 and hosted some of the nation’s top racing talent on its tracks.
“We’ve got so many national champions here,” WV Racing Heritage Festival President Ashley Ness said. “This racetrack has seen all these national champions. We’ve had the best in the United States, including Australia and New Zealand, come here and race at Pennsboro Speedway. It’s time to get them all back again.”

Racing legends who come from the Mountain State attended the festival to speak about their experience on the tracks.
One panel included six women who competed in flat-track motorcycle racing at a time when it was mostly dominated by men.
“We have six of the lady flat-track racers that were pioneers in the 60s and 70s,” Ness said. “It’s so important to get this documented, and that’s what the Heritage Festival is all about, documenting the history of dirt track racing, whether it be motorcycles or race cars.”
Vintage cars and motorcycles also got back in action with a parade lap on the tracks of Pennsboro Speedway.
The festival began in 2015 and will continue next year on June 5.
