After Kenneth Clark went to the drive-thru of a Burger King in Newberry Township naked on Jan. 19, 2015, it didn’t take long for an employee of the fast food restaurant to identify him, police said.

That’s because, police said, he pulled a similar stunt less than six months before at a combined Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell — right down the street. The employee happened to work there, too, and noticed Clark had ordered the same drink.

Clark, 54, of Harrisburg, pleaded no contest Friday to three counts of indecent exposure and related offenses. He was sentenced to serve up to 23 months in York County Prison, and will get credit for the 189 days he’s already spent in jail.

At first, Clark was set to plead guilty to those charges. But when Common Pleas Judge Harry M. Ness asked him what he did, Clark said he could not recall.

“I honestly don’t remember any of it,” he said. “Still entering my plea of guilty.”

His attorney, Assistant Public Defender Joshua Neiderhiser, and Senior Deputy Prosecutor Chuck Murphy let Clark plead no contest, instead. That means, without admitting guilt, he acknowledged the prosecution had enough evidence for a jury to convict him of those crimes.

“What do you want to tell me about your client, attorney Neiderhiser,” Ness said, “and his inability to recall even simple things like keeping himself in his drawers at Taco Bell?”

Said Neiderhiser: “I’ve got nothing to add, your honor.”

At one point, it was mentioned that Clark suffered from physical and mental health issues — though those were never discussed in detail.

Newberry Township and Northeastern Regional police gave these accounts of the three crimes:

Aug. 6, 2014: Clark is charged after going through the drive-thru at the combined Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell in Newberry Township, and telling the employee, “You know, I’m naked.”

Jan. 19, 2015: He goes to Burger King with nothing on.

June 14: Police charge Clark after he gets gas at a Giant Food Store in East Manchester Township — again, wearing no clothes.

He’s expected back in court in Cumberland County on Tuesday for sentencing in three unrelated cases.
