Charges have been dropped against the naked prosecutor

On October 12th we had reported on an apparent new side effect of psych drugs, namely Nude Behavior. A public prosecutor had been caught running around naked after hours at the office. His defense blamed the episode on a side effect of the psych drugs his was taking.

In this update, we can say that charges have been dropped against the naked prosecutor. Apparently there was a problem in the briefs.


Charges against a former city prosecutor accused of public indecency were dropped Tuesday because they were improperly filed, his lawyer said.

Authorities had charged Hamilton prosecutor Scott Blauvelt after a guard monitoring a security camera saw a naked man in the county office building the night of Oct. 5.

The previous night, security video had captured Blauvelt, who has since been fired, naked in another area of the building, where city offices are located, authorities said.

Blauvelt’s attorney, Mike Gmoser, said that charges were dropped because Blauvelt had been charged under a law no longer in effect, and that prosecutors have not decided whether to refile charges.

Blauvelt, 35, was suffering from a bad reaction to medication prescribed for depression and to control seizures related to a 2005 traffic accident, Gmoser said.
