Ohio Couple Accused Of Having Sex On 150-Foot Ferris Wheel

An Ohio couple was arrested after police say they had sex on a popular Ferris wheel in downtown Cincinnati. Michael Mathisen and Lauren Wilder were both intoxicated when they boarded the SkyStar Wheel at The Banks on Thursday (March 28) evening and had "sexual intercourse in the open in front of children and adults."

The 150-foot SkyStar Wheel, which has 36 enclosed gondolas that each holds six people, makes four rotations and lasts 12 minutes, giving riders spectacular views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati.

Mathisen was charged with one count of disorderly conduct while intoxicated and held overnight without bond. Wilder was charged with disorderly conduct and released on her own recognizance.
