Florida deputy pulls over a naked man riding a motorcycle, charges him with DUI

Friday, September 18th, 2009

That’s not something you see very often a 45 year old driving down the highway naked and intoxicated.   Having had the luck of being smacked by a bumble while holding my hand out the window at 55mph.  I am not sure how this would work naked on a motorcycle, but it could be ugly

OCALA, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida man was charged with driving under the influence after he was spotted riding his motorcycle naked. The Marion County deputy was driving on Interstate 75 early Tuesday when he spotted what appeared to be a naked man on a motorcycle. The deputy caught up with 45-year-old J. Dante Krauss at a red light and stopped him.

Capt. Mike Rolls said Krauss could not explain where he was coming from or why he was naked. Rolls said the deputy asked him if he had been drinking, and he answered that he had. Breathalyzer tests revealed blood alcohol levels above .08, the state’s legal limit to drive.

Krauss was charged with what Rolls said turned out to be his fifth DUI. Jail records showed he was later released on $20,000 bail. They did not list an attorney and his phone number was not listed.

Sculpture of naked family turns heads at Florida shopping mall

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Sure why not, it’s Florida, have I mentioned IT’S FLORIDA!   I would think nude family statues would be fine, after all they have nudist colony family picnics.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Parents in Florida are complaining about a sculpture of a nude family outside a shopping center west of Delray Beach. Parents of children who attend a nearby elementary school say the bronze statue is inappropriate, and the PTA president e-mailed parents Wednesday asking them to complain.

The sculpture is by artist Itzik Asher and titled “Journey to the New.” It is supposed to represent the journey of Russian and Ethiopian Jews from their homes to Israel. It was previously displayed at other locations in the area.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Asher’s sculptures have drawn criticism before. In 1995, the Boca Raton City Council made him cover the private parts of several of his sculptures with cardboard fig leaves. The leaves were later removed.

Flight diverted to Albuquerque after passenger undresses in his seat

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A passenger stripped naked during a US Airways flight and resisted a flight attendant’s efforts to cover him with a blanket before two off-duty law enforcement officers on board subdued and handcuffed him, authorities said Wednesday.

Keith Wright, 50, of the Bronx in New York, was taken into custody after he disrobed while sitting in his seat in the back of Flight 705 on Tuesday evening, authorities said. The plane was carrying about 148 passengers from Charlotte to Los Angeles, the airline said.

Wright was unresponsive when a flight attendant asked him to put his clothes back on, said Dan Jiron, a spokesman for the Albuquerque airport. “She asked him on more than one occasion to put on his clothes. She covered him with a blanket and he took that off,” Jiron said.
