ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (KMOX/AP) - A naked man has taken the use of cooking spray to a whole new level.

Rock Island Police who responded to a call Monday morning found the man in a towel and carrying a pair of shorts. Officers say the man told police he’d taken the shorts off because they were too big and wouldn’t stay on…possibly because they were slipping off due to the fact that he “lathered himself up with Crisco cooking spray.”

Deputy Rock Island Police Chief Jeff VenHuizen tells The Rock Island Argus that authorities had received reports about a naked man in the city’s business district who was covered in cooking spray.

Officers who arrested 41-year-old Chad William Forber of Blue Grasse allege they found drugs in the pocket of his shorts. He was also carrying a container of cooking spray.

He’s charged with possession of methamphetamine, resisting or obstructing a peace officer and possession of drug paraphernalia.
