Naked man arrested after climbing Collin County cellphone tower

 A Collin County man’s cellphone reception might have been clearer than his thinking last night.

The 23-year-old stripped naked and climbed a cellular tower in the small town of Lowry Crossing.

 Princeton resident Andrew Arnold is in the Collin County jail today.

For reasons he has yet to explain to authorities, he spent seven hours in the buff on the cellphone tower.

About 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said, Collin County sheriff's deputies approached Mr. Arnold after they'd gotten several calls about a man acting strangely.

He ran away from the deputies.

Initially, witnesses said, Mr. Arnold was wearing only jeans.

But by the time he jumped a fence and climbed 15 feet up the tower, officers said, he had disrobed entirely.

Sheriff's Lt. John Norton said a negotiator was called to the scene, and Mr. Arnold finally agreed to descend shortly before midnight.

He was charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and fleeing from police.



Sigh, and it's not Florida.

I suspect alcohol was involved. Hopefully, anyway.  :evillaugh:

Was it the "Can you hear me now" guy scenario testing?
