Naked man is hanging it all out in north Charlotte

The Story

Residents of Cardinal Glen are tired of their neighbor standing on his property naked, in full view of everybody.

The Facts

//><!--– Neighbors say he frequently stands in the buff at his glass front door.//--><!

– One neighbor saw him standing in the garage, door open, leaning on the car. Just wearing a vest.

– Another time, he watered his lawn naked. Front lawn.

– Suspect is Gerard Leeper, who’s been arrested multiple times for … indecent exposure.

– He’s been doing this for years, apparently, but after a recent WBTV story, the police are getting involved.

– Problem is, the law says you can be naked on your own property.

– Police are meeting with residents to work out a solution, and hope to convince the state legislature to change the law. They’ve also talked with Leeper’s family about counseling.

– BTW, did you know there’s a Twitter account called Nude News Uncovered?
