Man arrested for violating stay at home order

Can’t post the link from here, Fox59 had the story. Drunk naked guy from Chicago busted in Clinton County by ISP.

Reckless driving, resisting law enforcement, OWI, violation of local travel advisory. He's now a guest of my friend and former co-worker, Sheriff Rich Kelly.

Interestingly, no charges for being nude in a field.

I saw this one this morning. This article has a bit more information in it than the one I saw. But IIRC, the one I saw said he was out on bail or probation.

Being naked in a cornfield is against the law? Hazardous yes, but illegal??

Probably depends on his intent? Appearing nude to sexually arouse another? Private property, intending to be seen by others? Quick breakdown here:

On the other hand, I can see the troopers deciding they had charged him with enough, including the violating the stay-at-home, so why bother arguing if the field was public enough to support another misdemeanor.

Also, as a side note, the Clinton County prosecutor, like the sheriff, is retired ISP.

Also, having had the opportunity to run through cornfields while fully clothed (business reasons, of course), I have to concur: Hazardous!

From the link:

It’s also being nude (pubic area, butt, or female nipples exposed or a covered clearly erect penis) in public in order to be seen by a child under 16. It’s a Class A misdemeanor.

Uhhh... WHHUUUAT?!?!

Seems like this code could use some reformin'... You get your naughty bits out in front of kids, on purpose, in public, and it's a misdemeanor?
