A man and woman who had sex in a squad car after a drunken-driving arrest have been convicted and sentenced for disorderly conduct, the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported.

Travis Husnik, 33, of Luxemburg and Heather Basten, 29, of New Franken were arrested in early August. They started to have sex while being transported to the Oconto County Jail.

A sheriff's deputy then stopped the squad, told Husnik to pull up his pants and moved him to the front seat, according to the news report.

The prosecutor called it "a little disgusting," and Oconto County Circuit Judge Jay Conley appeared to struggle with an appropriate sentence for Husnik.

"I'm getting to be a pretty old guy and I've never seen that situation in my legal life," he said during a September sentencing hearing, the Press-Gazette reported. "It's not like you have a lot of law school courses or training on what do you sentence a guy who has sex in a squad car."

Weighing Husnik's criminal record — Husnik has 19 convictions, four of them felonies — Conley sentenced Husnik to 90 days in jail.

"The process of being arrested is supposed to be somewhat unpleasant," the judge said. "And you end up having a tryst."

Besides disorderly conduct, Basten, the driver of the car, pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated.

Without comment, Oconto County Circuit Judge Michael T. Judge sentenced her to time served and to pay a fine of $793.
