Naked man sought karate fight

GETTYSBURG, Pa., March 10 (UPI) -- Authorities in Pennsylvania said a man pleaded guilty to indecent exposure after he emerged naked from his home and challenged his neighbors to a karate fight.

Gary Jones, 47, pleaded guilty to a first-degree misdemeanor charge. Three children less than 16 years of age were among those who saw him walk out of his house naked, The (Hanover, Pa.) Evening Sun reported Tuesday.

Jones, of Gettysburg, was sentenced to one month in jail followed by two months of house arrest and 21 months of probation. He was also ordered to avoid contact with his neighbors and to pay a $200 fine.

Police said Jones emerged naked from his home after consuming alcohol Aug. 1 and approached neighbors Dennis Hucks, Gary Kerns and Andrea Orndorff while Huck's three children played nearby. He told the men that he knew karate and asked if any of them wanted to fight.

Jones allegedly told officers that he knew leaving his house naked was illegal, but he came out anyway because he is a "serious martial artist."

First of all, why didn't anyone accept his challenge? This seems like a slam dunk win for anyone who isn't named Gary Jones. What happened to freedom of speech and freedom of martial arts? Isn't this type of behavior covered under our constitution or the geneva convention?

If serious-naked-drunk karate is wrong, then I sure as hell don't ever want to be right.

I really hope the cop who arrested him knocked down that setup gary left for him.

Gary: "I know leaving my house naked is illegal, but i'm a serious martial artist"
Cop: "well sir, you are seriously going to jail".
