Naked sunbather arrested on golf course

A 22-year-old man has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act after he was caught sunbathing naked on a golf course.

A group of men were enjoying an early round at Abbey Hill last Sunday morning when they spotted the large man, wearing just his socks, lying on the fairway at the ninth hole, with a dog standing by his side.

"He was in the middle of the fairway," said General Manager, Gordon Forster.

"The guys called the pro shop but he didn't say anything at all.

"You could tell he was alive but he wasn't going to move."

The police were called at 8.30am and officers used a golf buggy to get across the course.

However, when the man refused to move and became aggressive they had to call in back-up and he was eventually apprehended.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "Police arrested a 22-year-old man from the Greenleys area of Milton Keynes on suspicious of indecent exposure and assault on a police officer.

"He was not charged but was taken into care under the Mental Health Act."
