WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (AP) -- Officers have finally arrested a man for making late-night runs in the nude along Airport Road in West Memphis.

Fate Patterson, 39, of West Memphis was apprehended Monday night, West Memphis police said Wednesday. Officers had to use a taser to subdue Patterson, who had dodged police for six months or so.

The jogger was arrested after he ran past a police car and failed to stop when he was ordered to do so by officers on location. After his capture, Patterson was charged with indecent exposure, fleeing and resisting arrest.

``You know, this one has just got me kind of speechless,'' said Mike Allen, assistant chief of the West Memphis police department.

Allen said it wasn't known why the man was jogging while nude.

.. that's the full AP article....

By the way, you do know that matcom collects royalties for these, don't you?

:evilgrin:

I can hardly post this through tears of Joy. Where else but my beloved Arkansas can a guy go run around BUTT NEKKID for SIX MONTHS before the cops finally nail him--and they had to CHEAT to do it!

Wusses couldn't run down a nekkid-man!!! Neener, neener, NEENER!

GLORY to Arkansas!

:evilgrin:
dbt

:evilgrin: (remember no sex threads).

He was jogging at night on a road that is probably not well traveled. How does that hurt anyone? They used a tazer because he wasn't wearing clothes?! How conformist.

YET!

:eyes:

That sure woulda been cool.

.

Oh those little prods (needles) must have hurt from the TASER, sure hope they didn't stick in a sensitive location.....OOooooooouch.

Why does this remind me of a scene from Porkys, you know where the kid jogs naked home from the cemetery pass the cops.
