OCALA - An Ocala man appears to have gone above and beyond the call of duty in his commitment to safe sex.

Police say 37-year-old John R. Herdmann repeatedly rammed his sport utility vehicle into the front door of a convenience store early Thursday morning, ran inside and then stole two packs of Trojan condoms.

Herdmann was gone by the time police arrived, but he was found a short time later hiding in some bushes. Police identified him as the man who broke into the store using surveillance footage.

Herdmann was arrested and charged with commercial burglary and petty theft. He was released on $5,250 bail.

A phone message left Friday with a listing for Herdmann was not immediately returned.


He must have had one hell of a hot date!

maybe "ramming" his SUV into the conveniance store was his way of foreplay???

Wow..thats what I call commitment.

people sure do some pretty stupid things

how will he ever live this down

Wow. Well and then to be found hiding in some bushes makes one think he was being safe with himself, huh??? LOL

I have to wonder if drinking or drugs were involved.

I've heard and maybe been crazy horny before but not that crazy haha
