Update: 09/04/2012 @ 3:40pm – Apparently this guy wasn’t alone and he had a buddy out in the woods w/ him. He’s just turned up. Wouldn’t you love to know what these fellas got a hold of over the weekend. Here’s the link…
Brainstorm: 09/04/2012 @ 1:2opm – Okay I got it. New TLC Reality show. They take this couple, and the naked guy and they move them all in together. This show can come on immediately following Honey boo-boo. You heard it here first. I get at least an editorial credit for the idea…
Admittedly my threshold for funny has been raised to a pretty high level these days, especially since I live in Conway where we have werewolves, toe suckers, etc. but this story this morning has had me cracking up all morning. I mean it’s got all the elements, a wound up old codger and his wife (who I hope I will be just like in 20-30 years) and of course, a naked dude. In case you missed it, it made national news this morning, but it actually happened right here in the natural state, in non other than Saline County!!! I will go on and say this. If this couple isn’t on Letterman, Leno, Conan, and whoever else has a late night talk show this week, I’m gonna be real disappointing.
And, as luck would have it in our digital age. The KARK Naked Guy has his own Twitter account. Yep, I’ve interacted w/ him already this morning…

Update: KARK Naked Guy has some competition:
The
heat, and possibly using drugs, apparently played a part in the arrest
of a naked Oil Trough man riding his four-wheeler in the area of the
Departee Creek Bridge Saturday afternoon.
Independence County
Deputy Wayne Green said he was dispatched to the area around 4 p.m. but
before he arrived Narcotics Officer John Scarbrough made contact with
the man, later identified as 60-year-old Ricky Dale Riley, and confirmed
that he was naked and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
Green said when he arrived Riley, now clothed as per Scarbrough’s
orders, was fidgeting around and talking in strange sentences.
“Riley stated that he had been down in the creek and then he would
change the subject and begin babbling about something else,” Green said.
“Actions that I observed Riley doing were consistent with someone under
the influence of a controlled substance, most likely methamphetamine.”
At one point Riley was asked for identification and reportedly handed
Scarbrough a shopping bag, giving him permission to search it.
During his search, Scarbrough reportedly found a metal cylinder
containing two white pills, a yellow pill and a pink zip-style style bag
containing a clear jewelry-style bag with a white crystalline substance
inside. Also said to be found in the bag was a woman’s cigarette pouch
containing three hypodermic needles, a silver metal spoon and a
jewelry-style bag containing numerous yellow and white pills.
Riley was arrested and taken to jail where he was charged with
possession of a controlled substance and possession of an instrument of
crime as well as public intoxication-drugs. During his trip to the
Independence County jail, Riley was said to fidget and flop around
uncontrollably in the back seat of Green’s patrol car.
No court date was listed for Riley on Green’s initial report.
Thanks, I just shared this on Facebook!!
