- I’m a man on fire
Walking through your street
With one guitar
And two dancing feet

A 33-year-old naked Manitowoc man was taken to the hospital and arrested after a struggle with police.
According to WBAY, Friday night Manitowoc police were called to the report of a man standing in the middle of the street yelling he had a knife and was going to "gut" someone.
When officers arrived and asked what the man was doing, he responded he wasn't doing anything and wasn't against the law to walk around naked.
Police say the man had an active warrant out for his arrest in Two Rivers, so they attempted to escort him to the squad. That's when the man resisted and began kicking.
During the struggle, officers tased him, but he was unfazed. During the second tasing attempt, the man somehow grabbed a lighter and the taser hit the lighter, setting the man's facial and chest hair on fire.
The suspect resisted again. Officers tried to put out the flames, prompting third tasing, which finally worked.
When EMS arrived, the man resisted help and was eventually sedated.
The suspect was arrested for felony resisting/battery to a police officer, disorderly conduct and lewd and lascivious behavior.
He was charged at the scene.
Just like Yankees. Trying to keep up with Texas, but not doing nearly as good a job. http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/arlington/article160572509.html

My kids found this story very entertaining.
Shocking incident ignites burning controversy.
Also, from Wisconsin, we have a modern update on the Goldilocks caper...

Apparently too amped up to stop the resistance, at least until they incapacitated him.
The savage gene is doing its work on those unrestrained by civilized thinking. Throttles are on “wild” with no brake.
I see what you did there.
Is he related to the bare naked burglar?
You’re on a roll, today.
Welcome to Wisconsin! Home of Nudists and Criminals!
And to realize the police only came to rectify the situation.
“Wasn’t against the law to walk around naked”
Maybe not, but jogging naked is against the law. That thing could whip around and put somebody’s eye out!
I’ve asked you and asked you to not print stories about my family reunion on Free Republic.

Brush fire!

The wires on police tasers are copper
The tips are probably steel!
