For the record...


From The Providence Journal, Tuesday, February 21, 2006, Section C, page 1:

Saw this in the paper today, and just couldn't resist a shot to go with it....

Naked and Napping...

WOONSOCKET -- City police officers investigating a break-in at a local bar got an eyeful early Sunday morning when they found a suspect naked -- except for a single sock.

The police say they were summoned to Aly's Riverside Pub at 80 River St. just after 2 a.m. Saturday because the bar's alarm was sounding after the tavern had closed for the night. When they arrived, they spotted Casey Mills, 33, of 45 Ascension St., No. 2, lurking behind a Dumpster near the back of the bar. She denied trying to break into the establishment, even giving the police a fake name. But when the police found the bar's back door unlocked, they placed Mills in handcuffs and went inside for a look.

Moments later, they discovered Marcos A. Curet, 27, of 182 Cumberland St, No. 18, lying on the floor of the building's second story, sound asleep despite the nagging alarm.

Curet, the police report said, was "completely naked other than having one sock on." When the officers tried to handcuff Curet, he woke up and began struggling with them, according to the report. Once Curet was under control he and Mills were transported to the police station. Both were charged with breaking and entering and resisting arrest. Mills was also charged with failing to appear in court on an unrelated case.

Because yesterday was a holiday, no arraignment information was available.
