Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Police in Washington state said a pair of "illuminated" buttocks on the Microsoft campus led them to question a nude jogger, who offered a perfectly logical explanation.

The Redmond Police Department said in a Facebook post that a female officer on the south side of Microsoft's corporate campus "observed an unknown male running outside" about 3:30 a.m. Jan. 27.

"After seeing nude buttocks illuminated by a street light, she and another officer contacted the jogger, who was wearing nothing but black Skecher sneakers. Concerned for the cold weather, he was placed in a patrol vehicle," the post said.

The man offered a perfectly logical explanation for his naked run -- "he was trying to build up his immune system to fight the cold weather."

The man was not charged, since "there were no victims," but he was advised that "nude jogging could be considered indecent exposure."

"We do not have pictures to share of this incident. You are welcome," the post said.
