John Messerly, 38, allegedly walked naked for three miles of the West Shore Bypass after he climbed onto the roof of a van he was driving and was thrown when the vehicle crashed into a guide rail, the Reading Eagle reported Thursday.

Police said Messerly, who received emergency surgery for a severe cut to his abdomen, was found to have cocaine in his system.

He has been charged with indecent exposure, risking a catastrophe, open lewdness, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, driving while intoxicated, public drunkenness and various traffic violations.

Messerly was being held without bail at the Berks County Prison on parole violation allegations in a separate case.
