Police in Florida said they arrested a 400-pound woman who was spotted sitting nude on a bench at a bus stop.

Fort Lauderdale police said Patricia McCollum, 52, was spotted by officers sitting nude on the bus bench Wednesday and was arrested on a charge of exposure of sexual organs in public, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Friday.

McCollum said during a court appearance Thursday she is currently homeless and was attempting to change her clothes.

"That's why I was changing my clothes on the bus bench. I don't have anywhere else to stay but bus benches," McCollum said.

Police said McCollum has been warned by officers in the past about similar incidents.

McCollum was ordered held on $100 bond. (UPI)

50대女, 버스정류장에 누드로..왜?


몸무게 400파운드(약 181kg)의 여성이 옷을 모두 탈의한 채 버스정류장의 의자에 앉아 있는 것을 경찰이 발견, 체포했다.

미국 플로리다주의 경찰은 패트리샤 맥콜럼(52)을 수요일(현지시간) 공공장소에서 성기를 노출한 혐의로 구속했다.

맥콜럼은 법원에 출두해 자신이 노숙인이며 옷을 갈아입으려던 중이었다고 주장했다.

“나는 버스 정류장 이외에는 머물 곳이 없었습니다. 그렇기 때문에 정류장의 벤치에서 옷을 갈아입어야 했죠”라고 말했다.

경찰은 맥콜럼이 이번과 같은 사건으로 경고를 받은 적이 있다고 말했다.
