Jackson, Wyo. -- Every year, as the sun sets on the Teton County Fair, the moons come out: as many as 10 streakers at the demolition derby on the fair's last day. This year, law enforcement officers are pledging a crackdown.
Teton County Attorney Steve Weichman said a growing number of people have told him they didn't think that "drunk, crazy and naked streaking" is a "great, normal, fun thing."
Opposition to the streaking has grown since last year's derby, he said, when a deputy used a Taser to apprehend John Chase Rogers, 21, dropping him to the dirt as he streaked with a fire extinguisher before a crowd of 3,500.
Posters at the fair office warn that at this year's fair, any public nudity will bring a charge of misdemeanor child endangerment, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Attorney David DeFazio spoke out against last year's Taser incident and questioned the need for a crackdown this year.

I hollered "Don't look, Ethel" but it was too late, she'd already been shown the Tetons.

I would say that a charge of child endangerment was ridiculous. I also wonder how many times one can use the word 'crack' in an article about nekkid people.

Use BB guns before the arrest. See if the police can shoot the moon.

Ah, yes, I've heard of that range. Exposure to the weather and strip mining can do that.
