Stripping down to your underwear and running away: the new method of avoiding a simple traffic violation

Erie County Sheriff’s deputies were left scratching their heads Saturday after a man pulled over for a routine traffic stop on Grand Island suddenly ripped off his clothes and ran away.

At 8:41 a.m., a deputy pulled over the motorist on Grand Island Boulevard near Staley Road.

The driver, whose name was being withheld by authorities, inexplicably stripped down to his underpants and ran away on foot.

Sheriff’s deputies began a search for the man and were assisted by a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol helicopter. They were still searching for the man Saturday afternoon.

Deputies couldn’t understand why the man fled. They said he was facing only petty traffic violations.
