A Littlestown man was charged with indecent exposure after police found him roaming around Red Lion naked and cursing out NBA superstar LeBron James.

Drew Michael Valentine, 22, of the 700 block of Sells Station Road, was charged with the offenses in connection with an incident that occurred on the afternoon of May 13. The charges were filed this week after police had a chance to interview Valentine.

According to a criminal complaint, state police Trooper Mitchell Penrose was on routine patrol when he received a call at 1:20 p.m. for a naked man roaming around Red Lion, having been last spotted near the intersection of Western Avenue and West High Street.

When Penrose arrived, the complaint states, he saw a large, red-headed man "completely naked and yelling obscenities."

"More specifically, (he was) cursing out LeBron James and making statements about having twins," Penrose wrote in the complaint.

Todd and Dedra Dandylion were working in their flower shop, in the 300 block of West High Street, when Dedra looked out the window and saw the man.

"Hey, there's a naked guy out back," she told Todd.

Todd responded, "Yeah, whatever."

They watched as the naked man wandered around, dancing and singing. They said some people were chasing after him, throwing clothing at him.

The trooper told the man to lie face down on the ground. Valentine did, Penrose wrote, but after he heard the "clicking" sound of the handcuffs, he rose to his feet and advanced toward the trooper.

Penrose deployed his Taser, and Valentine went down, according to the complaint. The trooper told him to put his hands behind his back, Penrose wrote, but Valentine resisted. Penrose wrote that he had to employ the Taser twice more to "to gain compliance."

"He was even singing when he was being Tased," Todd said..

The trooper then gathered up Valentine's clothing, and took him to York Hospital for treatment, according to the complaint.

A few days later, Penrose spoke with Valentine, who told him that he had been high on LSD and only remembers being hit with the Taser. Penrose wrote that medical records indicated that Valentine has tested positive for using cocaine.

In addition to indecent exposure, Valentine was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and open lewdness, all misdemeanors, and public drunkenness and similar misconduct, a summary offense.

"It's about the weirdest thing I ever saw," Todd Dandylionsaid.

Efforts to reach Valentine for comment were not successful.
