KEMAH, Texas (AP) - Police say a naked man riding a unicycle on a Houston-area bridge has been accused of distracting drivers and creating a hazard.

Kemah (KEE'-muh) police Chief Greg Rikard (RY'-kurd) says 45-year-old Joseph Glynn Farley of Clear Lake has been charged with indecent exposure. Farley was jailed Thursday on the misdemeanor count, with bond set at $1,500.

Rikard says Farley was not intoxicated or impaired when he was arrested Wednesday afternoon in the buff on a bridge that links Kemah and Seabrook.

Rikard says Farley told officers that he liked the way it felt. His clothes were found at the base of the bridge.

The police chief says Farley had been falling off the unicycle and into traffic.

Online jail records did not list an attorney for Farley.
