Nude Man Climbs Cellphone Tower

Was he high, drunk or just plain stupid? The answer is we just don't know.

Andrew Arnold, 23, stripped naked and climbed a cellphone tower in Lowry Crossing, Texas, for reason he did not explain.

Arnold spent several hours in the buff before police talked him into coming down, and was taken to Collin County jail. Initially, he was wearing only jeans, when he ascended the 15-foot structure, and then removed his pants.

Police say he initially tried to run away, before a negotiator called to the scene talked him into giving himself up. He was charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and fleeing police. As the Dallas Morning News put it, Arnold's "cellphone reception might have been clearer than his thinking last night."
