Nude biker leads trooper on chase in bad weather

[February 12, 2009]  SEARCY, Ark. (AP) -- A naked man on a motorcycle who crashed with an Arkansas state trooper's cruiser on a night when it was sleeting faces misdemeanor charges. A police report said a 35-year-old man kept riding when a trooper tried to pull him over during the Jan. 26 incident.

The man stopped abruptly several times in the street and then sped up quickly, until the trooper bumped him on one of the stops.

The report didn't indicate any injuries but both vehicles were damaged.

A witness quoted in the police report said the man was "naked as a jaybird."

Searcy police cited the man for indecent exposure, fleeing and not having a vehicle license. State police are still investigating.
