Oddblotter PSA: Yes, Cops Can Arrest Naked People

From the Oddblotter goldmine that is Somerville comes this teachable moment. After Somerville police arrested a man for allegedly refusing to leave his girlfriend's apartment—and smashing in a window—the suspect allegedly depantsed himself, and declared, "I’m naked. You can’t take me like this."

Now, as Jay-Z would say, we're ain't passed the bar, but we know a little bit, and we're pretty sure that police can arrest naked people. Sometimes police can even arrest people for being naked. In fact, if you use the self-depantsing gambit while you're being arrested, you might even get an extra charge or two added to your court date. In this case, the allegedly bottomless suspect might have gotten off easy. He faces charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and defacing property. [Somerville Journal]
