It may surprise you to learn that the White House is a heavily guarded place that’s quite leery of suspicious activity. What falls under the umbrella of suspicious activity? Lots of things, I’d guess. But sometimes there’s stuff that falls under the old “shades of grey”…like a man stripping down to nude and jogging in front of the White House.

A man created a scene — and a Secret Service scare — near the White House during rush hour Wednesday evening when he stripped to the buff and took off running, leaving his bag of clothes unattended on the Ellipse.

“He wasn’t yelling or protesting. Just going for a jog,” [Secret Service spokesman Malcolm] Wiley said.

Secret Service and D.C. police officers chased the man after he refused to stop.

“He was apprehended, naked though he was,” Wiley said.
