Streaker Wreaks Havoc On I-95
BRANDYWINE HUNDRED, Del. (AP) ― Delaware State Police have arrested a Chester, Pennsylvania, man who they say was running naked and drunk on Interstate-95 and caused three accidents.

Police say 26-year-old Ardonas Gilbert was running along the southbound lanes near Marsh Road about 10 p.m. Monday. He is charged with two counts of assault and a single count of being drunk on the highway.

Two citizens tried to help Gilbert, but police say he began to assault them. Then police say he ran back into traffic and caused three accidents when cars tried to avoid hitting him.

No one was seriously injured.

Gilbert is being held at the Howard Young Correctional Institute in Wilmington.

The following is news taken from BBC.com:

Geordie Brynn Reed streaked in front of the Queen’s Rolls Royce on her Jubilee visit to Newcastle in May 2002.

Brynn says, “I just wondered what it felt like really… It’s also something to tell the grandchildren, and that appealed to me.”

“I was planning to run alongside the Queen’s car for the entire journey until I got arrested, but unfortunately I misjudged the timing.”

“I knew I was going to get caught but it’s just a practical joke at the end of the day. I was pretty sure that was the way it would be taken.”

“I certainly wasn’t out to upset the Queen. I thought I might have got a smirk or reaction out of her, but she was very professional and kept a straight face.”

Sadly, Brynn’s employers didn’t think it was quite so funny, and he was fired from his five week-old job. “I don’t think they liked the headline ‘the naked civil servant’.”
