'Naked Rambler' arrested -- again

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- A former British marine known as the Naked Rambler took only six steps toward freedom before being arrested again for public nudity.

Gough, 48, of Eastleigh, Hampshire, had just been released after spending 20 months in various jails for repeatedly walking naked in public, The Times of London reported.
