Eric Williamson was at home making coffee and breakfast naked
​Sometimes the best move a cop can make is to leave it alone. But in Springfield, Virginia, they're apparently unaware of this novel policing theory.

Eric Williamson was making coffee, breakfast, and packing a box one morning in his own home. Since no one else was there, he was doing it in the nude. But neighbors use a trail that cuts through his yard, and that morning a mom was walking her 7-year-old son to the bus stop. The blinds were up, so she spotted Williamson naked. She called the cops.

We won't bag on mom for calling. Who knows? Perhaps she thought there was some exhibitionist pervert in her neighborhood. But Williamson, who has a kid of his own, says he'd never intentionally do that. And since he's readily talking to the media about his plight, he doesn't sound at all like a creep with something to hide...

But Fairfax County Police -- perhaps run over by a tidal wave of sphincterism -- busted him anyway. Spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings says bare-nakedness wasn't the problem. It was flaunting that bare-nakedness that branded Williamson a perv. They even went to a judge before issuing a warrant.

"He wasn't merely moving around the house," she told WUSA-TV. "He was actually standing in an open doorway and standing in front of a pretty large window when she observed him naked."

And since Williamson is a hair-farmer that the normal straight-laced cop might find suspicious, police don't believe this was simply a case of absent-minded exposure.

But Williamson makes a good point. It's his house, and he has the right to be naked if he wants. It's not like he's hanging out at the school bus stop in his birthday suit. "I mean, I could have been Riverdancing. I'm in my home naked. I can't understand a law that breaks."
