Couple had sex on porch to annoy neighbours

A Neosho couple accused of performing a public sex act to irk their neighbours has been charged.

Mark Albert, 33, and Kimberly Ferguson, 43, were charged in Dodge County Circuit Court last week with misdemeanor lewd and lascivious behaviour. If convicted, each could face up to nine months in jail.

Police were called to the couple's Milwaukee Street home around 7:10 p.m. on Aug. 23 after a neighbour reported that Ferguson and Albert engaged in a sex act while standing on the porch. The act took place in full view of the neighbour and five witnesses, including a 9-year-old child, according to the criminal complaint.

The complainant told police that the couple had thrown an object through her window, and while she was out repairing it, Albert and Ferguson came outside and began taunting them before performing the sex act, according to the complaint.
