Sharki arrested in NJ for public drunkenness and lewd behavior

Seaside, NJ - A sand shark variously known as Sharki, JTeef, Reefster, and The Chompster, was arrested Saturday by New Jersey police for public drunkenness and public nuisance.

The shirtless shark reportedly cruised the shallows making threatening gestures to small fish, then swam ashore to make lewd comments to onlookers. It then flashed its bottom at shocked beachgoers and swam back towards the open sea.

New Jersey Fish Police were ready with a drag net, which they used to haul the suspect aboard. Before posting bail, the toothy enfant terrible spent the night thrashing in a holding tank. Sharki's lawyer, in a statement, seemed to be preparing a case based on mistaken identity, stressing that "Nets are overbroad tools resulting in many unfortunate victims of alluvial profiling in coastal areas. At the time of the incident, my client was simply spending time with his chums."

MTV's cameras were on hand to record the scene for its upcoming season of a new reality spin-off series tentatively titled The Reel World.
