A passer-by snapped a photograph of the man, who was shown sporting only a tan line, as he cycled north across the bridge that spans the Clear Lake channel, Kemah police Chief Greg Rikard said.
Police arrested the man at 1:32 p.m. before he made it to the top of the bridge, Rikard said.
Bond for Joseph Glynn Farley, 45, of Clear Lake, was set at $1,500 on the Class B misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure, Rikard said. Farley wasn’t intoxicated, Rikard said.
“He’d been riding during the week, and I saw him this past Saturday as I was traveling to Seabrook,” Rikard said.
Officers stopped the rider shortly before he was accused of disrobing at the base of the bridge in Kemah.
“He was falling off into traffic, and officers said he couldn’t ride it over the bridge,” Rikard said. “It was a hazard. We left the scene, and it wasn’t 10 minutes later we got a call saying he was now naked.”
A delivery driver and two other residents stopped at the police station to report the uni-streaker about the same time many callers were reporting it to police dispatchers.
“We asked him why he did it,” Rikard said. “He said he liked the way it felt.”
Rikard escorted the man, wrapped in a blanket, from a police car to jail. Police found his clothes at the base of the bridge, Rikard said.
