Naked Man Caught Pumping Gas In Canton

CANTON, MI — A naked man was caught at a gas station pump by Canton police early Sunday morning, according to police. Around 2:25 a.m., the 67-year-old filled up at the Marathon gas station at Michigan Avenue and Haggerty. A police officer spotted the man, who got into his vehicle when he saw the officer.

He was too late. The officer reached the man's car where the 67-year-old had shorts on his lap and no shirt on.

Police said the man told the officer that he was sick and didn't know how it happened, then said he couldn't sleep, so decided to get gas.

The Detroit Free Press reported that the man took his clothes off behind the gas station and told the police this wasn't the first time he had done this, and that it helps him forget his problems.

The man was taken into custody for indecent exposure.
