Cape May, NJ – But not hair care products, it appears. Robert Martin, 47, is a Jersey clam digger. He also loves his leopard print seat covers, his BibleBible reviews, his crucifix, his naked Barbies, his porn, and the ladies’ thong he kept on a gold platter on the dashboard of his car. But was having all that stuff in his parked car a crime? New Jersey said a big “HAIL YEAH” when MartinMartin reviews was arrested last week and charged with maintaining a public nuisance and a weapons violation.

Police say that Martin had been parking his car for several months at the Ocean View Service Plaza on the Garden State Parkway. He’d then get a ride into Atlantic City for his clamdigging job. But while he left his car parked at the plaza, people walking by were exposed to what police call “a public nuisance”. Martin calls it his “private shrine”.

A few weeks ago, customers at the service plaza started complaining to employees about the dashboard and interior of Martin’s 80s-model black sedan. ArrangedArranged reviews neatly on the camel leather back seat were porn boxes, magazines, DVDs, a Bible, and a cross. The front seats held leopard-print tank-top style seat coveres, a black leather studded belt, more porn, some ladies’ underwear, and a homemade shank-style knife. On the dashboard sat a naked Barbie doll and a golden platter, on which lay a lovely pair of ladies’ butt floss.

Finally, an employee called the law. Too many parents were complaining that their children were getting an eyeful, and employees who went to look found themselves a little freaked out, too. As Christie Ostrander, who works at the plaza, said, “It was a mixture of pornography, a Bible, cross, it was all laid out perfectly. Nobody should have to really be exposed to that.”

Robert Martin was arrested last Wednesday after parking his car at the plaza. Authorities confiscated his porn, his panties, and his Barbie. They took the shank he says he was just using to get the cassettes out of the tape player. They even took the cross – but they did leave his Bible, his belt and those leopard print seat covers. Martin was charged with the public nuisance and the weapons violation, but bonded out the same day.

Says Martin, “The only regret I do have is probably having the Barbie doll up on the dash board. Being topless, maybe that drew some attention…. I can just say anybody that’s out there, if you have any pornographic material in your car whatsoever, do not have it in your car.”

When asked what he thought about the whole situation, Martin said, “The whole thing was just majorly way overblown.” Kind of like your hair, Robert Martin. Kind of like your hair.
