Media Spotlights Nake Defecator

  • This Downtown Coeur d'Alene Bar Report incident has gotten widespread play in local media after first appearing here at Hucks Online at 10:59 a.m. Wednesday: "Naked man dumps, runs."

A man was arrested in Coeur d'Alene after he allegedly broke in to a home, stripped naked, defecated on the floor and helped himself to a dip in the hot tub. "I couldn't believe it, I thought it was the most bizarre thing I've heard in a long time," said Mark Witham, a neighbor. According to a police report, 23-year-old Clinton Perry faces charges for unlawful entry and obstructing officers after he entered a stranger's home on the 400-block of North 12th street at around 4 a.m. Police say Perry went into the garage, took of his clothes and decided to relieve himself on the floor. He then hopped into the hot tub. "He took what was described to me as a large dump in the garage and then buck naked walked into [the] house," says Kenneth Burchell, a neighbor/KHQ. More here. And: KREM2 version here. And: Coeur d'Alene Press version here.

Question: Why are are local media & the public so fascinated with naked guy who dumps and runs?
