Police frown on patriotic stroll along highway in just cowboy boots, hat

FORT PAYNE, Ala. - A man was arrested and charged with public lewdness for walking naked near a highway while waving an American flag.

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department arrested Gerald Lynn Kelley, 52, the Fort Payne Times-Journal reported Tuesday.

Deputy Mike James said deputies were sent to Hammondville about 3 p.m. Sunday after receiving calls about two men walking nude along U.S. 11, just inside the town limits.

James said Kelley, who was allegedly drunk, was wearing only a cowboy hat and boots.

The other man, reportedly clad in the same attire and also carrying the American flag, could not be found. Police reports show that Kelley and the other man had been at a party that got out of hand.

Kelley posted a $1,500 bond and was released from DeKalb County Jail early Monday morning.

Nothing wrong with being patriotic but come on.... Now, had they been wearing ALIPAC Thongs, maybe they wouldn't be in such a mess.

Well at least you can Alabamaians are patriotic!

Cowboy boots and hat and Old Glory........too bad there wasn't pictures. Add the ALIPAC thong and what a sight. The poster child for anti Illegal immigration.

Nice to see patriots risking their butt (literally) to express their patriotism.

John, you are correct! If these guys had been wearing the ALIPAC thong, they would have been left alone! (probably anyway)

I better check and see where my brother down in Alabama was on the night in question

Yea, guess we got a couple on that tree. But last time I was down there I had a brother running around in cowboy boots and hat ( but was also wearing in between items) and some times I wonder about him.

I don't understand why these men were arrested after all, in San francisco, when they have the gay pride festivals, I have seen many on tv who had no more then these men had on. There sure is a double standard in the US

nittygritty, too true.

Yep, he should have been wearing teh the thing....


Thanks for the post, I enjoy a good morning laugh.

Is there a slide show? :P
