WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (AP) -- Officers have finally arrested a man for making late-night runs in the nude along Airport Road in West Memphis.

Fate Patterson, 39, of West Memphis was apprehended Monday night, West Memphis police said Wednesday. Officers had to use a taser to subdue Patterson, who had dodged police for six months or so.

The jogger was arrested after he ran past a police car and failed to stop when he was ordered to do so by officers on location. After his capture, Patterson was charged with indecent exposure, fleeing and resisting arrest.

``You know, this one has just got me kind of speechless,'' said Mike Allen, assistant chief of the West Memphis police department.

Allen said it wasn't known why the man was jogging while nude.
