I hope he didn't have leather seats

You don't say:
A naked man driving along the Indiana Toll Road was arrested and charged because his lewd conduct distracted other motorists, police said.
I can see how that could be distracting.
The 37-year-old Chicago man was traveling east to Ohio to visit his mother, police said. He was nude and had petroleum jelly on his hands when a state trooper pulled him over about 10 miles from the Ohio line Wednesday, police said.
I'm not sure which part is the most disturbing—the fact that he was naked, the fact that he had Vaseline on his hands, or the fact that he was on the way to visit his mom.
The trooper, Al Martinez, a four-year veteran of the Indiana State Police, said he walked up to the passenger side of the SUV and saw that the man had dropped a T-shirt across his midsection. Other motorists had called police about the driver, with several calls from truckers who could see into the front seat of the SUV.

Martinez made the man put his clothes back on before handcuffing him and putting him in the back of the squad car.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I'd do, too. Making him put his clothes back on, that is.
