MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - An Arkansas judge has put an end to a man's naked neighborhood jaunts.
Fate Patterson, 39, of West Memphis, Ark., was convicted Wednesday of indecent exposure, fleeing and resisting arrest.
Police had received reports for several months from a West Memphis neighborhood of a man jogging in the nude before they arrested Patterson on Jan. 11, an unseasonably warm day.
Officers said they saw Patterson jogging naked from the waist down and ordered him to stop. When he kept running, officers used a stun gun to end the pursuit of the pantless perpetrator.
Patterson was supposed to have a mental evaluation, but Municipal Court Judge William P. Rainey canceled it when Patterson admitted he entered a Florida woman's home naked two years ago.
"I don't need a mental health evaluation," Rainey said. "He's not crazy. He knows exactly what he's doing."
The judge sentenced Patterson to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
