Naples Man’s Strip-Tease Steals the Spotlight In Police Chase
Here in Florida, you never know what you might see on a Friday night and one Naples man’s strip-tease stole the spotlight in a police chase.
When you think of 5th Avenue in Naples, you may think of restaurants like Osteria Tulia, Sails, Aqua or Del Mar. You see fancy cars like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maserati’s and Porsches. Ladies and gentleman both dressed to the nine’s in designers like Chanel, Gucci, Balenciaga or Yves Saint Laurent. But what you DON’T expect to see is a naked man.
Well, that is exactly what stole the spotlight Friday night. NBC2 reports that 68 year-old Steven Grant Campbell decided that clothes were just too much for him and proceeded to not only strip himself of clothing, but lead police on quite the chase. He started slowly by removing his sneakers. Then the rest of his clothes, throwing them into Naples Bay. When officers witnessed him do this, they encouraged him to stop. But did he listen? Oh no, he ran over to Bistro 821 and took a seat, making himself quite comfortable.
You think the story ended there?
Then you’d be wrong. According to a witness, Campbell went right in the middle of traffic at 5th Avenue South and 11th Street South and showed off his goods to passerby’s. Florida man strikes again!
It sounds like this naked man’s strip-tease through downtown Naples came to an end shortly after. Campbell was arrested and is facing charges of disorderly conduct, resisting an officer and littering.
Florida Has 3 Of The Most Rat Infested Cities In The Country
Let me start of by saying that no where in Florida is nearly as bad as Chicago. That city is on top of Orkinβs Top 50 Rat Infested Cities List for the ninth year in a row. I witnessed this first hand while staying at a hotel in downtown Chicago. We were several floors up and our view overlooked an alley. We noticed a dog poking around the dumpsters. A dog with a very long tail. Once it got closer to the light we realized it was the biggest rat you could image. Florida can’t begin to come close to the rats they have in Chicago.
Orkin ranked metro regions by the number of newΒ rodent treatments performed from Sept.1, 2022, to Aug. 31, 2023. This ranking includes both residential and commercial pest control treatments. Pretty efficient way of measuring the problems.
After Chicago comes another rat haven that I’m familiar with. Los Angeles. In the latest rankings, Los Angles has now overtaken New York for the second spot. Congratulations?
After New York at 3, comes Washington DC at 4, and San Francisco at 5.
There are rats in Florida, however the 3 Florida cities that made the list are much further down. Our rat problems aren’t nearly as bad as the cities on top the list. Additionally, one thing to note, of the 3 Florida cities that made the list, all moved up in the rankings over the previous year. So our rat problem seems to be growing.
If you don’t believe there’s rats in Southwest Florida, plant a mango tree in your yard. They’ll find you.
Here’s the most rat infested cities in Florida, and their national rankings.
