ROCK ISLAND (AP) — Police in Rock Island arrested a man found naked and covered in cooking spray.

Police responding to a call Monday found the man carrying a pair of shorts. Officers say the man told police he'd taken the shorts off because they were too big and wouldn't stay on.

Deputy Rock Island Police Chief Jeff VenHuizen tells The Rock Island Argus (http://bit.ly/NYFYT5 ) that authorities had received reports about a naked man in the city's business district who'd "lathered himself up with Crisco cooking spray."
