Unwanted naked house guest still on run
UW-L football coach found man just after midnight
UW-La Crosse football coach, Joel Dettwiler, who lives near the university, found a naked man in his house just after midnight, Monday morning. Dettwiler had no idea who the guy was that had taken off his clothes and left them in a pile on the floor of the living room.
Police say the man apparently drank some iced tea out of the fridge and was just hanging out and making himself at home while Dettwiler was away. He told the coach he was on the run from the law.
Dettwiler made sure he would keep running by shoving him out the door. The naked man was last seen hoofing it down Main St. – still without his clothing. Police have a vague description of the guy. They say the coach got a pretty good look at him and didn’t see any tattoos or scars anywhere. Police also have the guy’s clothes. Shorts and underwear, size medium and a pair of size 9 Jordans.
