A 65-year-old North Olmsted man was out for a joy ride Feb. 9 when he decided just for the thrill of it to drive through the McDonalds drive-through without his pants on.

Police were called to the Lorain Road restaurant about 2 p.m. after an employee reported the man had gone through the drive-through twice, sans pants. His description was given over the radio and officers on Lorain at East Park Drive saw the vehicle, with the driver only wearing a shirt. He said he was driving around like that for the thrill of it and his pants were in the trunk. In the console were two cups of McDonalds coffee, still warm.

The man was arrested for public indecency and given a court date. Officers asked if he went to any other restaurants, and he responded no, only McDonalds. Had he gone to Burger King he could have had it his way.
