FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — A Fairbanks man faces an indecent exposure charge after celebrating his 21st birthday in only his birthday suit.

Alaska State Troopers say Joseph Vance Arabie also faces a resisting arrest count after the early Saturday morning incident.

A trooper was on patrol about 4:30 a.m. when he spotted a naked man walking with a clothed woman on a bike path just off the Johansen Expressway. When the trooper approached the two, the man took off running.

Troopers say the woman didn't answer many of their questions, but did have Arabie's driver's license.

About 90 minutes later, the trooper — assisted by a police dog — found Arabie.

Troopers say Arabie was not able to give a good reason for being nude. The woman was not charged.
