Article content
A couple in West Virginia was busted when cops pulled over a stolen RV after allegedly spotting a naked man and woman on the driver’s seat having sex, according to a criminal complaint.
Matthew McDonnell, 48, and Shannon Bryant, 35, were driving through Bluefield, W.V., July 2 when an officer allegedly saw Bryant straddling McDonnell on the driver’s seat mid-ride.
“The vehicle was still in motion” and the pair were “having sex while driving,” according to the complaint obtained by the Smoking Gun.
The cop said the two allegedly pulled a switcheroo and by the time the officer approached the driver’s-side window, Bryant was the only one behind the wheel while McDonnell was sitting in the passenger’s seat.
Bryant — who candidly told officers, “We were f—ing,” when questioned — “appeared to be highly intoxicated” when exiting the vehicle and failed multiple field sobriety tests.
McDonnell admitted he and Bryant were naked and trying to have sex while driving and also confessed to making Bryant drive, despite knowing she was intoxicated.
Police searched the RV and found drug paraphernalia including a bag of white powder. Bryant also told officers that McDonnell had “discarded items” during the traffic stop.
After a quick canvas of the area, cops recovered painkillers and a broken glass pipe. They also discovered that the RV had been reported stolen from nearby Princeton, W.V.

The naked pair was charged with indecent exposure, drug possession, DUI and possession of a stolen vehicle, according to records obtained by the Smoking Gun.
McDonnell also had a criminal record and a warrant out for his arrest in Tazewell County, Va., according to court records obtained by WTRF.
He was being held on an $8,000 bond.
Both he and Bryant pleaded not guilty.
