Driver banned from petrol station after filling up car while naked

A man who stripped naked at a petrol station for a prank has been banned for life by staff who failed to see the funny side. Liam Marsh, 20, stripped off and posed for a picture as he pumped diesel into his Ford at the Asda forecourt in Yeovil, Somerset. His friend Sam Jones, 19, then got kicked out of the store when he went in to try to resolve the situation.

Liam said: “I thought they would take the humour from it. I think they’ve taken it too far. I don’t see why the punishment is so harsh for something they could laugh about. It doesn’t offend anyone or hurt anyone.” Liam thought he would get away with the prank as it was 1am and the supermarket was closed.



But his vehicle details were caught on the forecourt’s CCTV cameras and he was pulled over by the police the following day. Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson Martin Dunscombe said: “Police received an allegation of indecent exposure by staff at Asda, on Preston Road, in Yeovil. We spoke to the person who reported the offence, as well as staff at the store, and advised we would speak to the man regarding his behaviour.

“They were happy the incident had been dealt with and did not wish to pursue the matter any further.” An Asda spokesman confirmed the pair had been banned and said: “We are aware of the incident at our Yeovil store, and believe it has been dealt with appropriately. We appreciate someone with a good sense of humour, but petrol stations can be a dangerous place and this was just a joke too far.”
