The New Hampshire State Police arrested a Somersworth, NH, man, Shawn P. Weiner Sr., 35, on Sunday after receiving numerous reports that a completely nude man was running down the travel lanes of a highway.
State and local police responded to Route 16 in Dover, NH, and quickly located the nude Weiner.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Weiner had been involved in a crash on Varney Road in Dover, and that he was allegedly attempting to flee the scene on foot.
According to the State Police, Weiner stripped naked after exiting the car, threw his clothing on the shoulder of the road, and proceeded to cross every lane of traffic.
The investigation also revealed that the car Weiner was fleeing from had been reported stolen shortly before the crash.
State troopers took Weiner into custody and transported him to a local hospital for the treatment of minor injuries following the crash.
The NH State Police charged Weiner with indecent exposure, lewdness, two counts of disorderly conduct, reckless conduct, and littering. The local Dover police filed additional charges and retained custody of Weiner.
All aspects of the incident, including the stolen vehicle, remain under investigation, and further charges could follow.
He is set to appear in the Dover District Court on May 13.
Law enforcement did not indicate that drugs were involved in the incident and did not speculate on the cause of the crash.
