FORT PAYNE, Ala. – A Valley Head man was arrested for walking naked along a highway while waving an American flag.
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department arrested Gerald Lynn Kelley, 52, and charged him with public lewdness in connection with the incident, the Fort Payne Times-Journal reported Tuesday.
DeKalb 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 as Kelley and carrying an 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.
