The ex-wife of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon was arrested Feb. 20 on charges of public lewdness after she and a man were caught having sex in a field behind Prairie View A&M University’s stadium.
“Individuals pointing at a male and female alerted the officer (and he) subsequently observed the male and female engaged in a lewd sexual act,” Prairie View Police Chief Jason Barrett told Houston CBS affiliate KHOU.
Felicia Moon, 55, and the man she was with, James Thomas, 50, were allegedly caught engaging in a sex act. Organizers at the camp said police didn’t tell them right away, and they had no idea what happened until Tuesday.
The trail-riders make a trek from Prairie View to Memorial Park every year, a few days before the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Thomas has been a trail-rider for several years, organizers said.
On Tuesday night, the camp was set up near Hawkley. The trail boss said she didn’t think what Moon and Thomas were accused of doing was a big deal.
"Well, they were out on the field, so whatever," said Nannie Francies. "I don’t see it as big deal. When people go out on the trial, people tend to do what they want to do."
Still, organizers said they hope the arrest doesn’t overshadow the positive things the trial-riders do, like preserving history and supporting local universities.
Felicia and Warren Moon were married for 21 years before the relationship went south in 1996 after she accused him of assaulting her. She dropped the charges and eventually filed for divorce in 2001.
Felicia Moon has worked as a freelance writer and opened a Christian book store in 2002.
