I Can See My Dick!

EAU CLAIRE, MINNESOTA - An Eau Claire man who garnered national acclaim for miraculously regaining his eyesight is now getting attention of another sort.
Renay Poirier, 49, has been charged with a count of lewd and lascivious behavior and two counts of disorderly conduct after being accused of exposing himself to a woman who was walking her dog.
A woman called Eau Claire police after noticing a man exposing himself while he drove a vehicle in town June 2, according to a criminal complaint filed in Eau Claire County Circuit Court. The woman told police she had noticed the vehicle travel slowly by her when the driver, wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt with the hood obstructing his face, exposed himself.
As the vehicle accelerated past her, the woman tried to read the rear license plate but could not do so because it was covered in duct tape, the complaint said.
Police then stopped a vehicle matching the description given by the woman. It was driven by Poirier and there was a gray sweatshirt in the trunk, the complaint said. Poirier told police he had been driving in the area to check volleyball courts at the intersection of Fourth and Water streets, where one of his daughters sometimes plays. He said he wanted to see if there were young people playing there.
During an interview with police six days later, Poirier said he had gone to the volleyball venue to check the condition of one of the courts needing repairs and said he planned to obtain a cost estimate for repairing it.
Poirier also changed his story about the exposure incident, saying he hadn't exposed himself to the woman but was instead holding a sex toy with a tan sheet around it, the complaint said. Poirier admitted to covering the rear license plate of his vehicle and did not offer police an explanation.
On Aug. 22, a city resident noticed a similar car, a maroon Saturn with its rear license plate covered, driven by a man wearing a ski mask parked at Manz School when children were present. Police were later able to trace the vehicle to Poirier.
Poirier gained fame in 2000 when he inexplicably regained his sight after losing it nearly a decade earlier during a high-voltage electrical explosion at his workplace.
Doctors could not explain how Poirier could see again, and everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Larry King wanted to hear his story.
Poirier credited regaining his sight to God and has given speeches about the subject at churches, schools and social clubs. He also has written a book about his self-described miracle.
