REDWOOD CITY, CA — It wasn’t he who rang the doorbells nude! It was the one-armed man! Wait, wrong case of mistaken identity. Peter Allen Steele insists that he’s innocent of ringing people’s home doorbells in the buff. He’s certain it’s just a simple case of thinking he looks like someone else.

Sure, happens all the time.

Steele, who is currently being held on $60,000 bail after pleading not guilty to a number of misdemeanor and felony charges, weighs 250-pounds and stands an impressive 6-feet-7-inches tall.

Among the legal problems Steele must deal with are driving under the influence, evading a police officer, indecent exposure, and entering a house without first gaining permission to do so.

Not that it was him, of course.

According to authorities, the 38-year-old man led San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies on a merry little car chase on July 11th that resulted in his bolting from his vehicle in the all-together. First he ran naked into a private residence and then he dashed into a wooded area near Redwood City.

It took a blast from a taser and two shots from a bean bag gun to bring the tall, naked man down.

Not that it was him, of course.
