A Salem man was charged last week with indecent exposure after police found him naked in the "touch free" stall of a car wash on Main Street.
Craig Tyree, 55, was arrested about 2 p.m. July 21 at the Spartan Car Wash in the 1700 block of West Main Street, according to police Lt. Mike Green.
The car wash, which sits between a branch of the Bank of Floyd and a Famous Anthony's restaurant, has multiple self-serve bays and two drive-through automatic washes. All of Spartan's stalls run parallel to Main and do not face the street.
Samantha Young, an employee at Famous Anthony's who was working that day, said that restaurant staff saw a man run into an automatic stall while a car was already in it being cleaned, and said he appeared to be clad only in some kind of shorts. Green said Tyree was naked when officers arrived on the scene.
City spokesman Mike Stevens said there was no sign that drugs or alcohol were a factor and said Tyree "just indicated he was taking a shower."

SETAUKET, N.Y. - Be on the lookout for Darth Vader, with a gun.
That's what police in Long Island are saying after a man robbed a Setauket bank Thursday morning dressed as the Star Wars character.
While the suspect did wear a full Vader helmet and mask for his 11:30 a.m. hit, the rest of his costume was off the mark. Investigators report he was sporting a blue cape and camouflage pants.
The man, who's described as 6 feet, 2 inches tall, was last seen fleeing through a nearby parking lot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Four young men living in Cerro Gordo county, near the Minnesota line, purchased and drank a keg of Eastern-brewed beer some days ago, and as a result three of them have died and the fourth is now in terrible agony, and is reported to be on the point of death.
The day was warm and the beer was consumed hurriedly by the friends, who little realized that they were sipping a death-dealing draught. They were all taken sick immediately, and although a physician was soon summoned, the taking off of three of the young bibbers could not be prevented.
To ascertain, if possible, the strange cause of the sickness, the keg was broken into and the decomposed remains of a genuine rattlesnake was found. Improbable as the story sounds, it is true; and is rendered plausible by the fact that empty kegs are often left lying around for weeks before being shipped back to the breweries. It is thus easy for reptiles and insects to crawl into the kegs as cool resorts.
The scalding out of the kegs read more...
