Warehouse store streaker fined

A Gore man who ran naked through a Warehouse store in Central Otago was yesterday fined in the Alexandra District Court.

Judge Paul Kellar fined Jay Harley Katon, 19, panelbeater, $350 for offensive behaviour at the Alexandra store on October 25.

The police summary of facts says Katon was grossly intoxicated and entered the store wearing a pair of socks and using a shoe to cover his genitals.

A "large number of people", including mothers and young children, were shopping when Katon ran around the clothing section before being asked to leave.

He bought some clothes before leaving and was found by police in a vehicle in the town centre, the court was told.

Katon admitted being in the store but said he had a shoe over his genitals "the whole time", the summary of facts says.

He told police he had been drinking at the Ettrick Tavern an hour before the incident and someone had stolen his clothes.
