Fisherman sleeps with croc under bed

TOKYO, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- A British tourist in Tokyo has been arrested after he skinny-dipped in the moat of the city's Imperial Palace, Japanese officials said.
The man allegedly jumped naked into the moat, which surrounds the home of Japanese Emperor Akihito, and threw rocks at and splashed two police officers, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
The tourist, who was described as about 40 years old by Kyodo News, was chased out of the water by police in a rowboat. He scaled the 26-foot-tall stone wall of the palace but police were waiting for him on the other side, the newspaper said.
The Telegraph quoted local media reports as saying the man currently resides in Spain and was visiting Tokyo with Spanish friends.
