Naked 53-year-old man says friends set him up in Stuart, police say

STUART, Fla. -- A man sporting a hat but no clothes was arrested after telling a deputy his friends set him up, according to a recently released affidavit.

A Martin County Sheriff's deputy on Oct. 13 went to an address in the 4400 block of Southeast Commerce Avenue in Stuart and encountered "a naked white male wearing only a hat" in the parking lot.

The "naked white male wearing only a hat" was identified as 53-year-old David Allen Parlier.

"I noticed he had defecated on himself," a deputy wrote in Parlier's arrest affidavit.

A hat is a covering for the head that can be worn for decoration, protection, ceremonial or other reasons.

The affidavit did not state whether Parlier's hat was a beanie, baseball cap, fedora, sombrero, Stetson, Balmoral, top hat, boonie hat, cowboy hat, fez, beret, dunce cap, porkpie hat, ten gallon hat, skull cap, straw hat, sun hat, Panama hat, military helmet or another type of hat entirely.
