Bikini streaker fined in court today

A dash across Hamilton's Waikato Stadium during the All Black's test against Ireland last Saturday has a cost bikini clad streaker $330.

Tauranga solo mother Lisa Lewis, 25, admitted by letter a charge of disorderly behaviour in the District Court at Hamilton today.

She was charged after she stripped down to a small bikini and ran onto the pitch.

Security guards tackled her and she was arrested by police before being taken away in the back of a police van, still wearing her bikini.

She did not appear in court today but was fined $200 by community magistrate Rae Brooker and ordered to pay $130 in court costs.

Prosecutor Sergeant Bill Cronin said the streak was a planned move and that she had gone to the stadium carrying the sneakers she wore when she ran onto the pitch.

She had also captialised on the publicity which followed, he said.

Lewis has put the bikini on the Trade Me auction site and by 2pm today the highest bid was $4000. The auction closes at 10pm tonight.
