Here’s an excerpt from the local news that I had to share with you:
Fort Worth police tell NBCDFW that when the 71-year-old man saw the female deputy coming toward him he dropped the trimmer and ran into the house in the 9800 block of Watercress Drive.
The man came back outside in shorts, that were unzipped, and told the deputy he’d done yard work in the buff before and thought his yard was private enough that no one could see him.
The deputy pointed out that the problem was some privacy slats were missing from his chain-link fence and he lives across the street from a park and along a busy road.
That’s freakin hilarious. It doesn’t stop there, though. Here’s part of the actual police report:
Since CIT1 had the weedeater in front of him, Deputy Rowland did not observe CIT1’s genitalia; However, upon CIT1 observing Deputy Rowland he took off running toward the south door of his residence. Upon CIT1 turning around to run Deputy Rowland observed CIT1’s buttocks. Deputy Rowland yelled at CIT1 to stop. However, CIT1 sat the weedeater down and ran into his home. Deputy Rowland observed that CIT1 did not appear to lock the door as he simply opened the screen door and ran inside. Deputy Rowland remained at the East Gate and yelled for CIT1 to come outside to speak to him. In a few moments CIT1 exited the residence. He had hurriedly put on a pair of tan shorts which were unzipped, revealing the fact that he was wearing no underwear.
OK, that’s awesome. The police then had to check the man’s record to see if he was a sex offender. It turned out negative, so the naked man received a Class C misdemeanor citation.
The Texas penal code 4201 A-10 states that a citation should be issued for exposing “his anus or genitals in a public place and (being) reckless about whether another may be present who will be offended or alarmed by his act.”
I’m still trying to find out what makes me laugh harder? This story or the Texas “penal” code?

Wow! I have to say – first of all, I’m surprised a 71 year old man would think it was okay to do this yardwork in the buff. What do his neighbors think? And where is his wife? However, I would have been way more concerned about being injured for lack of clothing.
Gotta love Texas! There’s not enough open space here in DC to be nude anywhere – it’s even scary in your own home!
