Troopers say Gunnery Sergeant Steven Sheals was headed east on Meadowview Road when his motorcycle ran off the right side of the road. Both he and passenger Jennifer Smith were thrown off the motorcycle. The Highway Patrol says even though Smith broke her leg and arm in the crash she managed to either walk or crawl a third of a mile for help.
Troopers say both Sheals and Smith were not wearing clothes and that alcohol played a factor in the crash. Sheals has been charged with DWI, reckless driving, driving without a license, license revoked, expired inspection, no insurance and no helmet.
Sheals was taken to New Hanover Regional Hospital where he is in fair condition, while Smith was treated and released from Onslow Memorial Hospital. Camp Lejeune says Sheals is an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician with EOD Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 25. They say he's been in the Marines for almost 18 years.

One naked truth about motorbike riding is that it is best done with full protective clothing...
He wasn't charged with indecent exposure?
Smith had a broken leg and a broken arm and she was "treated and released?" I guess she didn't have health insurance.
What are they going to do for her in the hospital that she can't have done for her at home?
