KEMAH, Texas (KPRC) –  Burglary, disorderly conduct and public intoxication.  Those types of arrests are not unusual.  But it’s not everyday that police arrest someone for riding a unicycle naked.

That’s where the story of Joseph Farley comes in.

Police arrested him Wednesday on a bridge near Houston. 

Investigators said the former teacher wasn’t drunk or impaired at the time of his arrest.

“We get another call that now the subject is naked. So we go back out there and sure enough, he is naked as a jaybird, riding his unicycle over the bridge,” said Police Chief Greg Rikard. “We stop him, he gets off the bike, and take him into custody, no problems. He said he liked the way it felt. Really don’t know what he meant by that, but that’s what he said.”

Farley is charged with indecent exposure.  His bond is set at $1,500.
