Seattle – A bartender at 13 Coins restaurant called police on a man who was sitting at the bar and staring at her while fondling himself. The man, later identified as 41-year-old Basim Salim Abdul-Rahim, took off before police arrived – but he left something behind. A jar of Vaseline. Two days later the same bartender called police to report that the man had showed up at the restaurant and was once again sitting at the bar. This time police caught up to Abdul-Rahim, and found his hands were coated with petroleum jelly. They asked why the hell his hands were covered in Vaseline, and he told them he’d been having phone sex with his wife. His wife denies this, but did inform police that her husband had previously been convicted on similar charges in Clallam County. Abdul-Rahim, also known as James Thomas Triblett, has been charged with indecent exposure with sexual motivation.
