Naked Water Fights Already Reported In Milwaukee County

MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI — A recent round of unseasonably warm weather has brought out an unseemly element in one Milwaukee County community.

According to the Franklin police department, a game called "Paranoia" is hitting the streets of suburban Milwaukee County. Paranoia involves trying to get the clothing of opposing team members wet with water - usually using large squirt guns. If someone from another team gets another's clothes wet, the wet person is out of the game. "It's essentially a water fight involving six-person teams of students matched against other teams in a bracket-type format. This is not a school-sanctioned event," police said.

If you follow the logic of the game down its inevitable path, if a player is not wearing clothing, they are always safe, "which leads to some of the community issues that may arise," police said.

As a result of this game, police in Franklin have received calls of reckless driving, suspicious vehicles/persons, prowling, trespassing, and public nudity. This week, police said they received a call about students running around naked in a subdivision while playing Paranoia before school. As a result, three students were taken into custody and were cited for Disorderly Conduct.

"If there are any parents of Paranoia players reading this, please speak with your kids regarding making good decisions," police said.

According to a WISN 12 report, there is a prize for the winner, such as a $100 Amazon gift card. The risk might outweigh the reward, however. A disorderly conduct citation cost $375.
