SPRINGFIELD -- A naked driver was arrested early Tuesday in the downtown area after he hit a curb and got a flat tire, police said.

Capt. Brian Keenan told WWLP the incident occurred about 3 a.m. at East Columbus Avenue and Broad Street.

The naked man, 30-year-old Enfield resident Derek Dent, got out of the car and started jumping around in the middle of the street, Keenan said.

Police, who initially saw Dent's car run a red light on Mill Street, arrested him after a short chase.

Keenan said that Enfield police pursued Dent through their city and Windsor following accidents Monday night.

This is a developing story. Additional information will be posted as soon as it is available.
