Police: Naked boy, 14, on walk with dog, pushes woman, breaks phone

A 14-year-old Saginaw boy has been charged with strong-arm robbery and assault in juvenile court after he pushed a woman and broke her cell phone while taking a walk naked with a large white poodle in Hart Township Monday, police say.

Lt. Craig Mast of the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office said a 14-year-old youth walked away from a youth behavioral treatment facility Monday morning, stripped down, and was with a “giant” white poodle when he approached a woman working in her yard just after 11:30 a.m. Monday in the area of Oceana Drive and Lake Road.

“The young naked man approached her with this poodle, and she immediately realized something peculiar,” Mast said.

When the woman asked the boy if he was all right, he told her some statements that didn’t make much sense, Mast said. The boy said his mother had kicked him out of her home in the Saginaw area.

When the woman, 53, of Hart Township, got out her cell phone to call for help for the boy, he assaulted her, pushing her in the upper chest, and took her phone. He fled the scene and broke the phone in half, the sheriff’s office stated.

The woman went to a neighbor’s house and called 911.

Deputies responded to the victim and shortly afterwards they located the boy near Oceana Drive and Lake Road in Hart Township near the American Legion Hall.

Mast said when dispatch gave information about the boy, deputies had an idea of who they were looking for because he had showed up naked along a roadway a few days earlier. He was picked up by a reserve officer and brought back to the placement facility after that incident.

He was taken into protective custody Monday and has since been moved to a more secure facility out of the area.

The boy is being charged with strong-arm robbery and assault and battery as a juvenile through the 10th Circuit Court in Saginaw.

Mast said because the boy is a juvenile he is referred back to his jurisdiction of residence, which is where the incident for his original charges occurred.

The name of the suspect and past charges were not released.


Rhode Island strip club to host job fair








PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Here's a job opportunity you won't need to buy a new wardrobe for.

Hoping to take advantage of Rhode Island's floundering economy, owners of the Foxy Lady strip club in Providence plan to hold a job fair on Saturday.

They say they're looking to fill around 30 positions, from strippers and waitresses to disc jockeys and bartenders, at that club and two others in Massachusetts.

"I need more managers, I need more competent staff, and I need more attractive waitresses to go along with the ones I have right now," said co-owner Tom Tsoumas.

The naked truth is that Rhode Island's economy is among the worst in the nation, with an unemployment rate of 10.3 percent in January.

The Providence club isn't immune from the recession but is still drawing customers willing to drink and pay for lap dances, said manager Bob Travisono.

"It's taken a hit," he said. "It's not as bad as restaurants and stuff like that. In times like this, they seem to drink their sorrows away."

Tsoumas said he hopes some who might shun strip clubs when the economy is good might consider shedding their clothes now -- or at least working as a floor host or bartender.

I guess the 14 uear old saw the Job Fair advertisement and must have been on his way to RI for the event. Perhaps he had some sort of wack-job dog and pony strip routine! And I suggest MX that you get some vid from the local TV stations about the strip club Job fair....some REALLY attractive folks (NOT) applied for the various positions!

There were various positions available alright! And how exactly does a job fair like that work. Don't job fairs usually have several different employers? Weird.

And I think the weirdest thing about the naked boy article was that he was walking a "giant" poodle. What does that even mean?

thats just a really awkward story. That kid must have had problems to go walking his GIANT poodle naked. I feel bad for the woman! If I saw that I would just run inside, not try to help him!

Ahhh New England... What would the Pilgrims think if they were to read this article? They'd be dropping some Plymouth rocks in their knickers if ya know what I mean! Then again they'd probably accuse the lady with the broken phone of being a witch, exile the strippers into the wilderness and trade the giant poodle to the local tribes for maze or dried fish! The DJ's could stay as long as they knew how to read shape notes!
