Report: Naked Woman At Auto Show Drugged

Lawsuit May Be In The Works, Local 4 Learns

POSTED: Thursday, January 19, 2006

A woman who reportedly stumbled out of a Detroit bar in the early hours of Monday morning and then posed naked on a Dodge Challenger concept car at Cobo Center may not have been aware of what she did.

Sources told Local 4 Thursday that the same men who ogled and photographed her after hours at the North American International Auto Show may also have drugged her.

Local 4 was also informed that one of the men was a Metro Services employee, a company that hires Auto Show help.

Local 4's Jeff Vaughn asked Anthony Turner, of Metro Services, if he knew if the man, an electrician for the company, was fired.

"I have no knowledge of it. I wasn't here," said Turner.

Local 4 also learned that the electrician who was able to gain access into Cobo during off hours was represented by the union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local Union No. 58.

Local 4 asked one of the union representatives if there had been any disciplinary action against the man or others involved in the incident.

"I am not aware of any individuals who have been disciplined or fired as it results to the incident," said Kenith Briggs, IBEW Local 58.

Cobo Center security is confirming only that the "breach of security" happened, and believe that the woman may have been drugged and was an unwilling participant.

Local 4 learned that many men gathered around the woman as she posed on the automobile and took pictures. None of the photographs have surfaced.

Guards found the woman and about a dozen onlookers taking photographs with camera phones.

Local 4 reported that the woman may be contemplating a lawsuit and has already retained an attorney.

The North American International Auto Show wants to make it clear that the incident has nothing to do with the show itself and it is a family-friendly environment.
