OCALA | A man who already has several DUI convictions and his driver license revoked for 10 years was arrested Tuesday morning after he was determined to be drunk while riding a motorcycle naked, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.
Watch Commander Capt. Mike Rolls told Deputy Christine Post that he was driving on Interstate 75 by the State Road 200 exit after midnight when he saw someone on a motorcycle and that the person appeared not to have on any clothing.
Rolls said he turned around and followed the motorcyclist, who exited at State Road 40. He was stopped in the 3800 block.
Post noted in her report that Dante J. Krauss was standing next to his silver 2006 Kawasaki motorcycle and was not wearing any clothing.
The unemployed man told the deputy he did not remember where he was coming from, and said the last thing he remembered was going to Hooters.
When asked if he had anything to drink, the Dunnellon man said yes.
He had no explanation for why he was nude.
Krauss was given a shirt, courtesy of a nearby hotel, and his lower body was covered with a shawl that was on the handlebars of the motorcycle.
A field sobriety exercise was performed and Krauss failed, at which time he was transported to the Marion County Jail where he was booked at 3:35 a.m.
During a breathalyzer test, he blew a .178 and a .162. The state’s legal limit is .08.
Krauss’ driver’s history shows he has four DUI convictions. In 1991, his license was revoked for 10 years.
