The deputy said he was driving on the interstate early Tuesday morning when he spotted what appeared to be a naked man on a motorcycle. The deputy caught up with 45-year-old J. Dante Krauss at a red light and stopped him.
Krauss reportedly could not explain where he was coming from or why he was naked.
"I'm just trying to figure out why you don’t have any clothes on," the deputy reportedly said.
"Me too," Krauss replied.
The deputy asked him if he had been drinking, and he reportedly answered that he had. Breathalyzer tests revealed blood alcohol levels of .178 and a .162, more than double the state's legal limit of .08.
Krauss was charged with what turned out to be his fifth DUI. Jail records showed he was later released on $20,000 bail.
