I first decided to link to this because of the outrageousness of getting arrested for being nude in your own house. This guy was arrested because police "saw him standing naked in the window of his home."
So I did some quick online research of nudity laws and found that they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction on "public" indeceny on your own property. Generally, the law seems not to care if you're just casually walking around naked. But if your intent is something other than just being natural, there's a problem. Indiana's law conforms to that distinction. It's illegal to be "in a state of nudity" in "other than a public place" if your intent is "to be seen by persons other than invitees and occupants." So, parade around your house with your naked, sassy butt all day long, but don't hang it out the window.
After all, of that, I finally read through the entire article I was linking to and came across this:
Together, with another responding officer, the two walked up to the home and found the naked man, then on the couch, conducting a lewd act with a claw hammer, plastic bag and motor oil.
The man, Ronald Miller, did not acknowledge the officer's presence until they addressed him and still did not say anything.
Well, OK, the man is an exhibitionist and a nut. Lock him up. A claw hammer, plastic bag and motor oil? I've always thought I had a pretty good imagination, but what he could have possibly been doing elewds me.
UPDATE: Well, now we know (third item). Thanks, Alex. Without your comment, I might have gone hours and hours without having that image stuck in my head.
