A 49-year-old man who habitually jogged nude along the streets of Blackman Township is serving a month in jail.

After years of fielding complaints of a pre-dawn streaker, public safety officers nabbed the man in the wee hours of April 4.

Officer Joe Merritt responded to a motorist’s report of a naked man running on Clinton Way near M-50 at 5 a.m. that day.

Merritt caught the man in the woods after a long foot chase.

The streaker wore a black cap, running shoes and reflective tape on his belly and ankles, police said.

The man told investigators and District Judge Joseph Filip that he jogged naked most mornings between 4 and 5 for several years.

His family apparently did not know about his streaking.

Filip this week sentenced the man to 30 days in jail immediately, with 60 more days if he violates probation in the next two years. Filip also ordered counseling.

Prosecutors dropped counts of resisting and obstructing police and disturbing the peace in exchange for his guilty plea to indecent exposure.

The suspect told police he enjoyed running naked and did not do it to expose himself to the public.

A Bahraini athlete of Kenyan origin was stripped of his passport after taking part in a marathon in Israel even though he used his original nationality, an official said Sunday.

“Moshir Salim Jawhar … has taken a personal initiative to participate in the marathon and was not representing Bahrain,” Sheikh Fawaz bin Mohammad Al Khalifa, the head of Bahrain’s general institution for youth and sports said.

“He participated using his Kenyan passport and had traveled to Israel from Kenya,” he said, adding: “We have stripped him of his Bahraini passport.”

Bahrain’s athletes’ union had condemned Jawhar’s participation in the tournament in Israel last week but said he did not invoice the union with any costs of the trip. It confirmed he had used his Kenyan citizenship to take part.

The Israeli daily Jerusalem Post had reported that Jawhar, who won the Tiberias marathon, was the first Arab athlete to take part in a sports event in Israel.

Bahrain and Israel do not have any diplomatic ties.

You have to admire the stats put up by Hassan Ibrahim at this year’s Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. The University of Minnesota physician shaved more than an hour off his previous four finishes in the Twin Cities Marathon, and in doing so qualified for the prestigious Boston Marathon.

Just one problem. Ibrahim never ran the race. In a phone conversation with KARE, Ibrahim admitted that he gave his race number and electronic monitoring chip to another runner.

Brian Mastel, Race Operations Manager, confirms Twin Cities Marathon Inc. has launched a review of the apparent identity swap, after receiving a tip. “In my three years (with the marathon) this is the first time we’ve had to deal with somebody potentially doing that,” said Mastel.

Race photos from the Twin Cities Marathon website show a man wearing Ibrahim’s number who bears little resemblance to Ibrahim. Ibrahim first referred to the man as “a friend,” then later described him as the brother of a co-worker. Ibrahim said the man was visiting from out of town, and said he doesn’t know his name.

Paradise Lakes, America’s premier nudist resort, has extended an invite to actor Will Ferrell to reprise his movie role of “Frank the Tank” from “Old School” and participate in Saturday’s “Sneaker Streaker 5K’ clothing-optional race.

Tampa, FL, November 16, 2006 –(PR.COM)– Paradise Lakes, America’s premier nudist resort, has extended an invitation to actor Will Ferrell to participate in the club’s 12th annual “Sneaker Streaker 5K,” a clothing-optional race around the 72-acre property on Saturday, Nov. 18 at 8 a.m.

Ferrell’s role as Frank “The Tank” Ricard in the 2003 film Old School included a memorable scene in which Ricard ran nude across a college campus shouting, “We’re streaking!” In real life, Ferrell completed the Boston Marathon that same year. Paradise Lakes extended an invitation to Ferrell via his representatives earlier this month and is awaiting a reply.

“We can’t think of anyone more appropriate to lead our 5K streak,” says Sabrina Vizzari, race director for the Sneaker Streaker 5K, which is expected to draw about 150 runners to the nudist resort, located just north of Tampa. “Unlike in “Old School,” he’ll have plenty of people running behind him.”
