Can You Guess What This Man Was Charged With?

Ok, this one is a tad unfair. If you answer running naked down a trail wearing nothing but several bells hanging from his genitals, you are a criminal studies genius and should immediately apply to the Federal Bureau of Investigations. It certainly brings a new meeting to saying “I will be there with bells on.”

In this case, “for whom the bell tolls” is Kenneth Allen Beck, 64. The Utah man was arrested near Diamond Fork Canyon in Spanish Fork (near Provo) running down a trail. He had been reportedly running naked on the trail with his bells in front of various witnesses. Police found him near the parking lot fully clothed. He told them that he “just likes doing what witnesses described to see their reaction.” His previous record indicates that he is not just a naturalist. He was convicted in 2005 for exposing himself to the waitress while ordering food.

He was cited for lewdness involving a child. However, they left it at a misdemeanor.

I have hiked in that area, but we have a distinct different view of how to expose oneself to nature.
