A Naked Man Was Found Upside Down Behind the Wheel of a Stolen Boat
If you're gonna do something dumb, at least make it memorable. This guy got the memo . . .
Police in Hot Springs, Arkansas got a report last Friday about a NAKED man who stole a pontoon boat and took it out on a lake. (Hot Springs is about 50 miles southwest of Little Rock.)
And when they found him, he was naked . . . sitting UPSIDE DOWN between the steering console and the captain's seat. (???)
His name is Preston Leonard, and he's 25. Once they got him in custody, they tracked down the owner of the boat and let them know about it. The owner said the boat itself was worth around $25,000.
Preston ripped out several of the seats and caused other damage to the tune of about four grand.
He's facing charges for first-degree criminal mischief, and theft of property worth over $25,000. He could be facing serious jail time too because this wasn't his first rodeo.
Almost exactly one year ago, he was sentenced to five years in prison on similar charges. That crime also involved the theft of property worth over 25 grand.
It's not clear if it involved a boat or not, but he got out of jail early. So he was on parole when all this happened.

Two American Tourists Broke into the Colosseum to Have a Beer
You know things are more normal again when American tourists are back out doing dumb stuff in foreign countries . . .
Two guys from the U.S. got in trouble this week after they broke into the COLOSSEUM in Rome . . . just to have a beer.
We don't know their names, but one is 24, and the other's 25. Someone spotted them hanging out on the second tier of the Colosseum around 5:30 in the morning on Monday, and both were drinking beer.
The person who saw them told police, who showed up and cited them for entering the 2,000-year-old landmark illegally. They're not facing jail time, but they got fined about $900.
And Americans aren't the only ones doing stupid stuff like this. Last year, a 32-year-old guy from Ireland was caught carving his initials into one of the stone pillars on the first level.
The two American guys didn't actually damage anything. They told cops they were, quote, "just having a beer."
