A man allegedly started stripping during an arrest attempt in Livingston County sometime in the last several weeks.

In a media release the the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy was executing an arrest warrant on a man in a public area when the man quickly started stripping for the deputy.

“The suspect was ordered to stop and his reply was ‘he only wanted law enforcement to know he was not up to anything,'” the release said.

To protect the name of the individual the office said it’s only reporting that this took place sometime in the last several weeks.

“It is one thing to be compliant with a law enforcement officer, but there is never a need to perform such an act,” the LCSO said.
