VERGENNES — Late this past Saturday Vergennes police dealt with a man who they said admitted drinking too much and was arguably wearing too little: He was naked when they first encountered him outside a First Street home.
City police responded to a call late on Saturday saying there was a naked man with a bicycle on Panton Road. When they arrived they found the man unclothed in a First Street yard. He then, police said, went onto the home’s porch and put on a pair of shoes.
After police persuaded the man to dress himself, police said the man told them he had consumed more than a dozen beers and then, while he was naked, had walked over to Hillside Drive to pick up his bicycle. Police contacted the man’s girlfriend and left him in her care.
