Scott and SadieIn the quaint town of Tolland, Connecticut, where life’s biggest thrill is usually a new item on the diner menu, patrons of Papa T’s Family Restaurant got an unexpected eyeful. Andrew F. Kinghorn, a 42-year-old from Ellington, decided that Friday night was the perfect time to redefine “dinner and a show.”
According to state police, Kinghorn entered Papa T’s fully clothed—because that’s how civilized people start their meals. He took a seat at the counter and requested a menu, like any other patron not planning to traumatize families. After a 10-15 minute intermission in the restroom, he emerged in his birthday suit, giving diners an unappetizing surprise.
The presence of children among the patrons elevated the situation from bizarre to downright disturbing. State troopers arrived to find Kinghorn still au naturel but compliant enough to get dressed when asked. He was charged with two counts of risk of injury to a minor and second-degree breach of peace. After posting a $20,000 bail, he’s scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Rockville on December 11.
While the motive behind Kinghorn’s impromptu strip show remains unclear, one thing is certain: Papa T’s patrons got more than they ordered. In a town where excitement peaks with a new pie flavor, this incident will likely be the talk of Tolland for years to come.
Just for fun, here’s his mug shot…
