318.0. "Bad press" by LEDS::NEUMYER (Au-natural state of mind) Thu Jun 13 1991 16:00


	Story in today's Herald.

Posted without permission.


	A 38-year old Haverhill man who allegedly streaked across Route 128 in
Burlington wearing nothing but a huge grin was arrested yesterday after causing
a truck accident just as dawn was breaking.

	David G Berube was charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure,
said State Trooper Martin Conley.

	Between 4 and 4:30 am, police in Burlington were flooded with reports
of a naked man running around in traffic, but he apparently eluded the police 
cruisers sent to look for him.

	Shortly before 5 am, State Trooper Francis Hughes came upon an over-
turned truck on the highway.

	The truck driver, Girard Champagne of North Smithfield, RI, explained
he had seen a nude man walking along the breakdown lane on Route 128, just off
Route 3, Conley said.

	Champagne said the flasher suddenly sreaked in front of his box truck,
which turned over when he swerved to avoid hitting the naked man and struck the
center guard rail.

	Champagne was treated for minor injusies at the Lahey Clinic in 
Burlington.

	A short time later, Berube allegedly was found in his birthday suit
wandering along the breakdown lane just north of the accident.

	He was identified by Champagne and admitted to Brookline's
Bournewood Hospital to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

        I get your point, but this would seem to be a little wierd and not
        your normal naturist activity.   Its one thing to be nude in one's
        home or backyard and quite another to be running around on rte 128
        @4AM..

    If it were RT 2... then I might understand. But he must have been NUTS to
    streak down Rt 3! ;^)

    Hey, the guy ran in front of a truck! That's justification to evaluate
    WHETHER he has a psychiatric problem, clothed or nude.

RE: .3

Unfortunately, alot of people won't make that connection because they would
have to separate the nudity from the psychiatric problem and that requires
engaging the brain sometimes and thinking.

When nudity is outlawed, only outlaws will be nude.
