Police: Long Island Man Was Running On Highway Without Pants
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A Long Island man has been arrested after troopers found him running on a highway with just a shirt and sneakers, police said.
Robert Zimmerman, 57, of East Northport, was arrested on a misdemeanor public lewdness charge, New York State Police said Saturday.
Police received a 911 call around 10 p.m. Friday night reporting a "naked man'' was running along the Southern State Parkway.
Arriving officers found Zimmerman standing on the side of the highway wearing only a T-shirt and sneakers.
Police said Zimmerman was arrested after running into a wooded area. His pants were later found in the woods.
It was not immediately clear if Zimmerman had an attorney who could comment on his behalf. A message left at a number listed for Zimmerman wasn't immediately returned.
