Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Men In Their Underwear

We had some excitement in our neck of the woods on Friday. Actually, it was my parents' neck of the woods... Police got a call about a suspicious person wandering the area and when police stopped to talk to the man, the man fired three shots at the policeman. Needless to say, that didn't go over to well and a three hour manhunt ensued. At one point, the man tried to break into a house to escape, only to discover the house belonged to a retired state trooper who started chasing him also. (It apparently was not his day.)

I say "my parents' neck of the woods" because at one point their driveway was the command post as over two dozen officers and a state police helicopter were looking for the man. After about three hours the man was finally caught and arrested... wearing just his underwear.

Apparently, the man took off his clothes to avoid being detected by police during the chase.

Maybe I'm missing something here because I am all whacked out on cold medicine right now, but - dude, you thought you would be more inconspicuous in nothing but your underwear?
