Ceramic penis case headed for trial
The guy in the car alongside him must have spotted something dangerous in the road, Lynn O'Leary thought. The man was honking his horn "frantically" and motioning to roll down the window.
"Have you heard about the man who stole the art out of the Boulder library?" the other driver asked.
"Yes," said O'Leary, of Broomfield, driving his wife to her doctor appointment.
"That was me! That was me! I'm the library bandito!" yelled Bob Rowan, laughing "hysterically," according to O'Leary, and pointing at a sweat shirt bearing that name above the U.S. flag.
The same Bob Rowan, still defiant and remorseless for stealing ceramic penises from an art exhibit, is steaming toward a trial, after he and a prosecutor rejected each other's plea agreement offers Thursday.
Rowan took the penises from their display at the Boulder Public Library on Nov. 11, declaring them offensive, "male-bashing" non-art. He was alerted to their presence by talk-radio programs, which had savaged the library for not making a patriotic display of a large American flag.
