Illinois Man Arrested In His Underwear

When I read stories about people in Illinois doing crazy things, I often wonder what was going on in their heads during that time.

Illinois Man Arrested In His Underwear

Imagine this situation. It's a nice summer day, so you're spending some time outside. More specifically, in the nice community of Elmhurst. They have a great little downtown area with restaurants, bars, shops, businesses, and more. Maybe, you're even spending time with your family and children. You're minding your own business and having a pleasant time when something outrageous happens.

A man was wandering around the area wearing only his underwear. You can't unsee something like that. A dude in just his tighty whities is not a pleasant sight. I know it's been extremely hot lately but there are much better ways to stay cool. If you feel like you must hang out in your drawers, please do it in the privacy of your own home. Of course, the police were called and he was immediately arrested.

Did The Suspect Listen To His Mom's Advice?

I have one question. I'm wondering if this guy followed his mom's advice. You know, when she tells you to make sure you wear clean under. Those words of wisdom never made sense to me until a situation like this one. I finally get it.
