Ballsy Bell Ringer On A Streak In Utah Canyon (VIDEO)

A 64-year-old man in Utah was caught running through the Spanish Fork Canyon naked with bells hanging from his man parts, according to KSL. Several of the onlookers were from age 8 to 16, so he was cited for lewdness involving a child; a class A misdemeanor. He was running around the hot springs up there.

It happened around 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 27. The police described it as a “rather unique” way for the man to expose himself, according to the report.

The man was identified as Kenneth Allen Beck of Riverton, Utah, according to Fox 13. He said he likes the reactions he gets.

This is not the first time he has done this. He was convicted of a misdemeanor indecent exposure when he exposed himself to a restaurant employee of Sarasota Springs. The streaker paid a $587 fine for this in 2005. A tweet from the local police about Beck notes,

Surprisingly, streaking has a long history. The first reported streaking arrest was in 1804 by a student at Washington and Lee University, according to Mortal Journey.

Senior George William Crump was arrested for running naked through the city of Lexington, Virginia. Crump was suspended for the rest of the semester.

It became a bit of a fad in the 1970s, according to Time Magazine, via Mortal Journey,

“…Running nude is a growing Los Angeles-area fad that is catching on among college students and other groups.”

In 1973, 533 students streaked at the University of Maryland. It was actually broadcast on the local news. There were even reporters covering the story from pay phones.

On April 28, 1974, five streakers ran through a crowd with Richard Nixon masks calling for his impeachment, according to Mortal Journey, and 34-year-old Robert Opel streaked across the stage at the 46th Academy Awards ceremony.

The TV audience could only see him from the waist up, but everyone at the event got the full picture.

I’m wondering if the guy was on drugs. He hopefully won’t do that again.
