Police say 20-year-old Jonathan Palmer was walking in the area of 15th and Hill when they caught up with him. Lt. Kent Lipple says dispatchers received several calls from people saying they'd seen him.
Lipple says Palmer was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but rather, Palmer wanted to conquer his own fears and help the public conquer its fears too. "He wanted to face his fear of being naked in public," Lipple said.
According to Lipple, Palmer told arresting officers: "I want the public to understand it's okay to see a naked man walk down the road." Lipple says the man was cooperative and articulate. Palmer was arrested on a misdemeanor public nudity charge.
