The Associated Press reports that authorities say a man in Florida has been charged with driving under the influence after police spotted him riding his motorcycle in the nude.

The Marion County, Florida sheriff's deputy who spotted 45-year-old J. Dante Krauss spotted what appeared to be a nude man on a motorcycle on September 16. He stopped Krauss after catching up with him at a red light.

According to Capt. Mike Rolls, Krauss was unable to explain where he had come from or why he wasn't wearing clothes. Rolls said the deputy asked Krauss if he had been drinking, to which he answered yes. A breathalyzer test showed his blood-alcohol content to be in excess of 0.08 percent, the legal limit.

Police charged Krauss with what Rolls said was his fifth offense of DUI. According to jail records, he was later released on $20,000 bail.
