MPD rounds up 2 nude street fighters

University of Wisconsin students may feel like they have seen it all on campus, from Halloween hysteria to Mifflin Street madness, so students fighting naked in the streets may not come as a surprise.
Shortly after midnight Sept. 30, Madison police were dispatched to the 400 block of West Dayton Street.
A 911 call made to the MPD reported two unnamed men fighting naked in the street. The men in question were two 19-year-old UW students, one completely naked, and the other in a blue sweatshirt.
The students were verbally aggressive toward the officers on the scene, according to the release. After they failed to comply with police, both were arrested and taken to the Dane County jail.
According to a release, the men refused to identify themselves to officers. Police were able to release the students on bail when their roommates came forward with the students’ personal information.
Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said he witnessed an incident a few weeks ago when a male UW student was circling a large portion of a block in his district in only his flip-flops.
The student’s streaking spectacle did not last long though, as police were dispatched and then kindly escorted the intoxicated man away, Verveer added. “During that time, the police seemed amused,” Verveer said. “It was bar time and the guy was just running around.”
