Streaking Suspect Still At Large After Police Pursuit.


On thursday afternoon, a man wearing only a tall pair of rubber boots, bow-tie and a golf visor ran from police after being stopped for failing to signal properly. Shortly after 3:00pm, officer Joe Smiley observed the suspect in a late model AMC Gremlin using arm signals out of the drivers side window to indicate he was turning. The use of hand/arm signals, normally a practice for bicyclists and pedestrians was suspicious enough to warrant the traffic stop. During the brief interview with police, the suspect made a near-naked dash towards a highway on-ramp and onto the Southbound Interstate. Witnesses recall seeing "a nude man running like mad" in nothing but boots and a visor. The ill-dressed suspect managed to run across the highway and in between oncoming traffic, losing one of his rubber boots in the process. (see evidence photo) The single soled individual then ran through the wooded area on the other side of the highway where police lost site of him.

Please forward the name of the investigator name who did such an outstanding chalk outline of the downed sole. I haven't seen chalk deployed like that since Frank Poncharello outlined a body on an episode of CHiPS that never aired. Fantastic!

Running from the poe-poe in only rubber boots, bow tie and visor is a great way to draw attention to yourself for sure...sounds like an episode of Jackass to me.
