But not exactly unexpected -- since he acknowledges having his lawyer on speed dial and bail money handy whenever he does a shoot.As for his other sessions, the model arrived fully clothed, did a quick strip while Hyman clicked away, then got dressed.

This was the first time any of his models got arrested.The guard in the Arms and Armor gallery explained, "I had to make sure that girl was turned over to the police. "There were little kids in here watching the whole thing."

Cops charged Neill with public lewdness.Hyman, however, insisted that his model was taken into custody only because she didn't have an ID on her. But then again, she had no place to keep one.
