The incident happened on Nov. 24, 2024, around 11:15 a.m.

Troopers said they responded to the area of the Grace Fellowship Evangelical Free Church on Providence New London Turnpike, after Mitchell was reported.

Witnesses told them that Mitchell yelled profanities while on his bike. They said he also wore a helmet with a dildo on it.

State police released the arrest warrant. See it below:

It noted that troopers were familiar with Mitchell from similar reports in the past.

Mitchell told troopers that was trying to recreate a German helmet that his grandfather wore during World War II.

They also said that they were called to Mitchell’s home nine times between Sept. 2024 and Nov. 2024 for numerous incidents. Those included him riding his bicycle while naked with a cowboy hat on and retrieving items from his neighbor’s trash while naked.

Troopers said he also altered state signs near his house to include offensive language.

The famous dildohaube- Is suspect his grandfather was the butt of a lot of jokes in his unit

Disappointed there was no photo of him in his helmet. I wonder if the troopers seized it.

LOL, the trooper writing the report knew his actions constituted free speech so they just added a bunch of unrelated things at the end hoping they could make it stick. Hopefully he finds an attorney that can sue the city for violating free speech.

The fact this happened at 11am just adds to the weirdness.

There, but for the noodly grace of the flying spaghetti monster, go I. Also, I always forget to carry a sharpie 🤷

Are you allowed to be naked outside here

[-] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 1 points 18 hours ago

That depends on your definition of 'naked', 'outside' and 'allowed'.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Generally in the US no. There may be certain places where it is allowed, but unless you’re very familiar with the locality’s laws on the matter or you see an official sign explicitly allowing public nudity I would recommend operating under the assumption that it is illegal.
