Nude jogger always wears reflective tape

DETROIT (AP) — A man who was sentenced to 30 days in jail for taking his daily run while wearing only a stocking cap, gloves and reflective tape said that the nude jogging made him ”feel alive,“ according to police.
Russell Rotta, 49, told police that he had been running naked since he was a teenager and that he generally woke up each day around 4 a.m. to conceal the activity from his wife.
Rotta reported running in the nude six miles a day every day, weather permitting. ”That is the one wild, crazy thing that I do that makes me feel alive,“ police quoted him as saying.
Rotta pleaded guilty to a charge of indecent exposure May 22 and received 24 months probation and $1,500 in fines.
Rotta was arrested early April 4 after a caller reported seeing a naked man running in the southbound lane of U.S. Highway 127 in Blackman Township, about 70 miles west of Detroit.
