Naked People Who Get Arrested

What's up with all the naked people who have been arrested lately? In California, someone named Jose Ayala walked into a Sacramento welding shop to ask for a job. Apparently, he did not have anything he considered appropriate to wear for job-hunting, so he completely did away with clothing for the occasion. He got arrested and did not get hired. Jason Wayne Strickland, of Arkansas, was arrested, naked, several months ago for taking his clothes off, dousing himself with gasoline, and threatening to burn his mother's house down. Yesterday, in California, someone else was arrested for stealing some assorted odds and ends from a church.....he was clad in a tutu! While fleeing and eluding, his tutu got caught on a chain link fence, and he was naked when he got arrested. But the headline stated that a "man in a tutu" had been arrested....and CNN only ran a picture of a lousy police car with that story! Dammit; aren't they aware that we need pictures with these headlines?

There's also the infamous Verdon Lamont Taylor, of Pennsylvania, who got arrested in February at a Walmart for being naked and stealing socks. At least CNN and the local news gave us the video. No one's ever naked when I'm at Walmart, though. And here's another one, Matthew James Ibarria, of Florida, was just arrested after driving his van naked. He was wanted for domestic violence and attempted to run over several officers while driving his van....naked. At least Clickorlando had the decency to run a picture with their naked man headline!

Has it really been warm enough to get arrested naked this winter?
