A man who police said was running through a neighborhood naked from the waist down was arrested early Saturday morning after a group of teens awakened an off-duty Indiana State Police trooper. Senior Trooper Todd Wallace said the teens came to his home at 12:20 a.m. to alert him to the man, who they said was running up and down a street.
"As Wallace approached and identified himself, the man took off running down the middle of the residential street," said ISP Sgt. John Bowling. "He was naked from the waist down and was carrying a towel and a jar of Vaseline."
The man was arrested shortly after Wallace began chasing him on foot. New Castle police arrived and arrested Kelly Malkemus, 44, of New Castle, on charges of public indecency and resisting law enforcement, both misdemeanors.
Police aren't sure why the man was wearing only a fleece vest. "There have been reports recently of a peeping tom in the neighbourhood," Wallace said, but police aren't sure if this incident is related.
