KNOXVILLE — A 46-year-old Knox County man has been arrested after he was using a chain saw in his yard to cut up a toppled tree while nude.
Lindsay Medd Stevens was arrested about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday at his Ellistown home at 7166 Wind Whisper Boulevard, according to records. Stevens is charged with indecent exposure. He was released from the Knox County Sheriff's Detention Facility after posting a $750 bond.
Knox County Sheriff's Office Deputy Scott Ritch said he approached the residence after a neighbor complained about the sight of Stevens swinging a chain saw at the large downed tree while nude. Stevens is listed as 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 210 pounds.
"When I arrived at the complainant's residence, I saw arrestee standing behind the tree in his yard," Ritch wrote in his report.
"When arrestee saw me, he ran inside his residence. Arrestee had no clothes on and was clearly visible from the complainant's residence and the surrounding homes."

Sounds like a man who's Got Wood.
He wasn't totally naked. He had a hat on.
I said HAT on. Yes I did. My mind was leading me in a different area. But I pervailed.

Mmm-hm. The dude is NUDE for crying out loud. What other measurements and dimensions were there to add to the report?
Forget it. I DON'T wanna know.

"46-year-old Knox County man has been arrested after he was using a chain saw in his yard to cut up a toppled tree while nude." And they call this a "free" country.

Ya know, at some point in time, this sounded like a good idea to this guy.
He thought..."Ya know, I'd like to take my clothes off, get muh saw and go out there and cut up that tree!"
Yeah, it made perfect sense to him. So thats what he did.
And then came the moment he saw the Po-Po pulling up.
At that precise moment in time...it all fell apart.
"DAMN!...I'm out here nekkid with a chain saw...Whut the hell was I thinkin'?"

It’s always good to wear safety glasses when using a chainsaw. Wonder if he had any on.
