Bare-butt bicyclist in from the Coast?

Here's a release from the Takoma Park Police Department about an overexposed and over-excited biker on Sligo Creek Parkway. You also can view it at the police department's Blogspot site. The police also reported they made two arrests in connection with an alleged hate crime and assault on NH Avenue in the wee hours of today. Sounds like it took place at the IHOP.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On [Sunday] August 1, 2010, at approximately 9:18 a.m., Takoma Park Police responded to Sligo Creek Parkway, between Flower Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue, for reports of a subject riding a bicycle exposing his buttocks. Officers responded to the location and tried to make contact with San Francisco, 27, of no fixed address, who refused to stop his bicycle.

While still attempting to make contact with Francisco, asking him to stop so officers could talk with him, he swerved the bike trying to hit the officer, which ended up pinning the officer against the steel fence and guard rail. Francisco then lost his balance and fell off of his bike. He then jumped up in a fighting stance yelling obscenities at the officer and making threats. Francisco was arrested and charged with assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was transported to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit.
