Man who washed truck naked gets probation

ATTLEBORO, Mass.

A man who scrubbed his pickup truck in the nude at a Massachusetts car wash has been sentenced to a year of probation.

Robert E. Bailey of Cumberland, R.I., pleaded guilty Monday to open and gross conduct for being naked at Economy Car Wash in North Attleborough on May 31.

The Sun Chronicle reported that a woman vacuuming her vehicle at the business called police after she saw the 65-year-old Bailey in the nude.

Police said Bailey was wearing shorts by the time they arrived at the scene and denied doing anything wrong.

A judge also ordered Bailey to stay away from the car wash and the witness and to continue counseling. He also will be required to register as a sex offender.

Cops: Couple’s copper theft for wedding netted $18

ELLWOOD CITY, Pa.

Police said a western Pennsylvania couple desperate for money to pay for their wedding netted just $18 for the stolen copper wire they cut from more than a dozen utility poles.

North Sewickley police said 23-year-old Joseph Russell and 24-year-old April Cater cut down the wires Aug. 9, four days before their wedding.

Russell said he was desperate for money because he’d just lost his job and lost a $1,000 deposit after his reception hall abruptly closed down.

Sgt. Jeff Bezce said the couple clearly expected to get more money than they got from the scrap where they sold the copper.

Russell told WPXI-TV he will pay for the damages. Utility officials said it will cost about $400 to repair the 18 poles that were damaged.
