Nakedness in office leads to firing
HAMILTON, Ohio, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Despite possible medical explanations, a Hamilton, Ohio, prosecutor has been fired for walking around naked in public office buildings.
Scott Blauvelt has been ordered to appear in court next Tuesday on two counts of public indecency. Officials said security cameras captured him walking naked in Hamilton's Government Services Center on Oct. 4-5. He currently is on paid leave, the Cincinnati Enquirer said.
Attorney Mike Gmoser says Blauvelt's actions may have resulted from mental illness, medication or the effects of a brain injury suffered in a car wreck last year.
