Law laid bare

There may once have been such a law on the books, alongside the one against wearing patent leather shoes with a skirt, but it’s more likely Julia Laack was just mistaken when she peeled off her clothes and told police they couldn’t arrest her because she was naked. That will be for a Sheboygan, WI court to decide.

The lead up to Laack’s unique resistance began at a gas station, where she stole some beef jerky and a lighter. When police arrived at her home to discuss that matter, Laack began berating her children, blaming one for the police presence and vowing to “beat his ass.” Then came the grim striptease, during which Laack asserted her belief that naked people can’t be arrested. As it became clear police interpreted the rules differently, Laack punched, spat and kicked one officer in his long arm of the law. She was finally funnelled into the squad car, clad in underwear and a spit mask like a sexy Hannibal Lecter. As she was ferried to the station, Laack pressed her bare arse to the squad car window.

Previously unknown to police, Laack makes her database debut with charges of theft, resisting arrest, battery of an officer and disorderly conduct.
