[Local 12] - A couple was arrested in downtown Cincinnati on Thursday evening after having sex in an observation wheel. Michael Mathisen and Lauren Wilder were arrested around 6 p.m. at the Skystar Wheel located at The Banks.

Sometimes the mood just hits right. I mean it’s Opening Day. There’s excitement in the air. This is the year that you watch your team win the division. Every team is undefeated at this point. If that doesn’t get you revved up well then picture this.

You’re in downtown Cincinnati. There are thousands of people around you. Seriously, Cincinnati goes wild for Opening Day.

You’re enjoying some beverages at Holy Grail or Tin Roof. You look at the other person and you start to feel those butterflies. Maybe it’s thinking of Joey Votto’s swing. Maybe it’s thinking of Yasiel Puig in the outfield. Then you look to your right and see it.

The SkyStar wheel is staring you in the face. You suggest it to each other with a big grin. You get your lucky cart number 19. How can you not want to just rip each other’s clothes off? At this time you just need it. You’re overlooking the city and the only thing you can think of is banging in that cart.

Sure, perhaps you get caught up in the moment. You forget there are families on the wheel as well. But, this is what Opening Day is all about. Getting lost in the moment. Thinking you have a chance for a hell of a year.

Just don’t ride cart No. 19 if you’re in Cincinnati. Or bang in front of families. Just quickly get a room in one of the numerous hotels downtown.
