FRAMINGHAM – A Greenfield man told police he decided to fight his boredom on Wednesday by walking around a Cochituate Road motel completely nude.

Police arrested Alfred Henderson, 40, after he admitted he purposely walked around the Red Roof Inn naked, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court on Wednesday.

Early Wednesday morning, motel employees told police they were in the lobby when a fully naked man walked by carrying an ice bucket. He went to the vending machine area and returned to his room. One of the two women said they had seen the man walking around wearing nothing but a T-shirt earlier, police wrote in the report.

Police knocked on his room door and were greeted by Henderson.

“He said, ‘You are probably looking for me,’” police wrote in the report.

Henderson admitted to walking around nude. When asked why, he said, “Boredom,” police wrote.

“Alfred exposed himself openly and recklessly disregarding a substantial risk to public exposure,” police wrote in the report.

Police arrested Henderson, of 82 Phillips St., and charged him with open and gross lewdness.

At Henderson’s Framingham District Court arraignment on Wednesday, prosecutors did not ask for bail and Judge David Frank released Henderson. Henderson is due back in court on Oct. 16 for a pretrial conference.
