October 03, 2011, On an afternoon stroll, a man in Hastings attracted attention of horn-honking motorists as he disrobed.

When he got to Hastings Library, he was naked.

Area police received many calls just before 3 p.m. Monday about a naked man walking on East State Street.

“When Hastings police officers arrived, there were several cars behind him honking their horns since he was, indeed, naked,” police Chief Jerry Sarver said.

The man explained that the reason he was naked was because his friends wondered what his next step was going to be and that God wanted us all to be peaceful and that this world was an evil place.

The suspect’s clothes were found throughout the area. Police arrested the 42-year-old man for indecent exposure.
