The Concrete Mixer Man is an unnamed Freician individual who came to national and international prominence when he was charged with various unusual offences involving the eponymous concrete mixer and three stoats.

He came to national attention in January 2022 when Radio and Television Freice reported of a man being arrested for "lewd activity" in a concrete mixer.[1] Public interest in the "weird" nature of the case quickly spread across the country.[2]

Case

The unnamed man was first arrested on 12 January 2022 after being caught by police officers in a remote part of Kekna with a concrete mixer, a box of poetry books by various Freician and Riamese authors, a tub of glue, and three stoats.[3] He was taken to a nearby police station and booked for lewd activity. He was reported to have willingly surrendered himself and his possessions to the police.[4]

Upon further investigation, it was found that the concrete mixer was stolen from a nearby construction site, with initial reports indicating that the site was the man's place of work.[4] It had been reported stolen three days earlier. The tub of glue is believed to have been taken from a nearby college, as were the poetry books. However, it is unknown where the stoats came from. Some news outlets have speculated that Concrete Mixer Man owns the stoats himself, with others speculating that they too were stolen.[5]

Response

Domestic response

The Freician government's response has largely been to support the legal process. Counsel General Taqame Natpiau said in a written statement to the Island Meeting that the government will "keep up to date" with the case where necessary, and ensure that the "the law has been followed in determining whether it has been breached."[3]

National broadcaster Radio and Television Freice has created a separate link on its website dedicated to the case, which is reported to have upwards of 50,000 hits a week.[6]

International response

A Gran Rugidoense politician Francisco Javier Vaquero, when asked about the case, humorously declared that a movie should be made about the unusual criminal. He later added that any movie should win awards for its storyline.[7]

On a Hoterallian TV show, a comedy skit entitled "My Girlfriend Is A Concrete Mixer???" has gained a cult following.[7]

When president Ańiāra Neḡdx́a visited Gran Rugido for talks with the Rugidoan president, pranksters greeted her dressed as stoats and possessing concrete mixers.[8]

Copycats

The international coverage of the case has led to a number of copycat cases being reported. In Kentalis, broadcaster NRSK reported of two teenages being arrested for stealing a concrete mixer.[9]
