Woman strips nude at Denver airport

DENVER, April 11 (UPI) -- Police said a woman who shed all of her clothes at Denver International Airport was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Airport spokeswoman Jenny Schiavone said the woman first clashed with airport workers around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday when she was caught smoking a cigarette in a non-smoking area and was told to extinguish it, KDVR-TV, Denver, reported Wednesday.

Police said the woman, whose name was not released, was soon seen taking off all of her clothing and standing naked in front of the check-in counter. Police did not say why the woman took off her clothes, but they said it appeared to be unrelated to the smoking incident.

Police took the woman to a hospital for evaluation. They said authorities do not plan to arrest the woman or seek any charges against her.
