People in the Cardinal Glen neighborhood in north Charlotte say the man has been doing this for nearly ten years and on Friday, they called police again.
"I was out rolling the trash can on Friday and I just happened to look over there and he was standing there buck naked," neighbor Pecolia Threatt said. "It's not good to have people walking around here naked like that a grown man like that with all these kids out here you know,"
“Because my daughter grew up in this neighborhood. Even this week, when she was home from spring break, she would call me at work and say 'Mom, I'm getting ready to go outside, but let me check if he's out there first'. That's how bad it is in the neighborhood,” another neighbor Adrienna Harris said.
Harris says she's called police numerous times over the last ten years to complain, but nothing has been done. (read more)

There are some very nice neighborhoods in Charlotte, NC, private security patrols and all that, so if these petty grumblers have something against the beautiful art that is God's own greatest creation which is the naked human body, then they should just get off their lazy, underachieving asses, make more money, and move!!!!
"City leaders say neighbors do have the option of filing a complaint with the homeowners association that prohibits nuisance activity on a property."
Why doesn't somebody do that, then? So SIMPLE.
"We tried talking to the man, but he ran away from the camera covering his face."
Seems like a perv who gets his rocks off exposing himself to the neighborhood kids but runs from more public exposure. Name and shame him with more public exposure.
There was a story a few years ago about some poor guy who got inadvertently peeped on, in his own house, by a passing neighbor, and the neighbor then complained about the supposedly unwanted visual experience? The guy was charged with indecency for being naked in his own home but these cops won't do anything. I'm kind of more sympathetic to the cops in this case. C'mon Americans, at least TRY to solve problems with obvious self-help solutions.
Uhmmmm ... stuff like this is why G-d invented nice quiet compressed air powered pellet rifles. Guess where the 10 ring is :-) ?
Aaron Schock comes out...of congress!
Poor thang.
Not much fiscally responsible either!
Rumor has it she's heading for West Hollywood!
Not to mention that in my majority Muslim Arab neighborhood, this clown would be dragged out of his doorway and beat senseless....by all the fathers of young girls here abouts.
I'm not Muslim but I figure the young women who are should be able to walk down the street from school without some hairy dickwad confronting them from less than 50 feet away. Call me stubborn. That's okay. I still have my expensive highly accurate pellet rifle :-)
Public nuisance trumps property rights.
It might be hard to prove harm, though.
Help me understand how some nobody like Aaron Schock (I've never heard of him) ) is forced out of politics, but Hillary Clinton, who has a stack of corruption a mile high, is still allowed to demoralize everyone.
There are a whole lot of times that you should be able to be nude in your own home and on your own property without being prosecuted.
Standing purposely in an open doorway visible to the public passing by on the street is not one of those times. That is exhibitionism and should be cited. While technically you are IN your house, you are visible on purpose to the public who just happen to be walking down the sidewalk which is a public area.
There was a case where someone complained about a person being nude in their house. It turned out the only way to see that person was to trespass on their property and they would not have been visible from the public area. If the complainer hadn't gone out of their way to peep and trespass on the guy's property he would not have been visible.
Now, if you are nude and just walking from one room to another and you are accidentally glimpsed by someone that isn't exhibitionist behaviour.
Same thing about being nude and sunbathing in your own backyard. If you have a privacy fence there should be no problem. When your neighbors go out of the way to peep at you, climb on their roof in order to see you, or peer through the fence.....well that is just their problem.
Disclosure: my parents were nudists and we were raised with the idea that nudity is no big deal....however, I do respect the desire of others to not be assaulted visually with the nudity of others. So when my husband and I sunbathe, we make sure we are in an area that is private and not visible to the public.
Also. Most nude people are really not that attractive. Trust me. I've seen a lot of nude bodies.
Full nudity in an open doorway exposing yourself to the public in general while on your private property is a self correcting problem that any man in the neighborhood should be able to resolve peacefully and with the least amount of blood as possible.
April with the rhetorical question, the game we all know and love.
NAME
THAT
PARTY!
1. You are a brazen greedy power-monger with sick delusions of grandeur and no humanity or warmth to speak of, who openly flouts the Constitution and the law in general and constantly pours taxpayer money out in the street where it is lapped up by cronies to no good effect on the general population whatsoever. Your "experience" is due to nepotism and back-room double-dealing and does not reflect any merit of character or achievement. You rarely get bad press so when you do you have not the first clue how to deal with it other than to put your nose in the air and/or pout and punt to your friends in the media who will blame someone else for your failures. You are continuously re-elected, praised, and touted for higher political office.
NAMETHATPARTY.
2. You are a moron who broke a rule that the abovementioned breaks at least five times each day before even getting out of the rack and you thought the rules wouldn't apply to you either. You are out of a job.
NAMETHATPARTY.
This only possible because of the wording of the North Carolina law on public nudity. There was a guy arrested in a Mid-western state for being naked in his dinning room, where he could only be seen by somebody trespassing on his property. It goes from one extreme to the other. Oops I see Amartel seems to have seen the same story.
Finally, an issue that is left to the states. For now, anyway. Hillary! will fix that.
1. You are mysteriously wealthy despite being in "public service" since you were a teenager. Your tax returns, if they've been released at all, are complete fiction. It's unknown which atrophied and shriveled up first, your heart or your brain.
NAME!
THAT!
PARTY!
2. You are non-mysteriously wealthy due to industrious hobo stomping and/or good ole dad. Your tax returns, SAT scores, grades, medical and divorce records were leaked by "sources" (the IRS) years ago when you were still county commissioner. It's well known that your brain has been compromised since birth.
NAME!
THAT!
PARTY!
I'm with DBQ on this. Property Rights should protect the man, but only so far. Standing outside in front of your house should be ridiculed with laughter, and if that doesn't work, take pictures and post on the Internet, and if that doesn't work, then move. Or shorter, I'm ok with a local law specifically against that act.
Naked inside your house or privately fenced backyard should be a normal occurrence. Why else have a home if you can't be comfortable in it to get naked?
As for the lady doing the peeping Tom bit on the guy enjoying his coffee in the buff, she should have been arrested for endangering her children by trespassing on private property and having the child look at naked men.
Paintball.
Just saying.
(If someone is trespassing or peeping, that's two things against the law right there... a perv standing in his doorway because women or children might be walking by *would* be solved locally, if it weren't against the law for other men with daughters or little boys to beat his naked *ss.)
