The driver of the jeep ignored officers' requests to stop the vehicle, and the nude man was gone when law enforcement caught up.
A nude man in a Jeep caught the eye of two kids walking with their dad in Port Washington's downtown, prompting a call to police and a short car chase — and though the naked man was nowhere to be found, a Milwaukee man is facing charges.

What seemed to start as a typical room service call by a 51-year-old Milwaukee man staying at the Holiday Inn on Tuesday now raises questions about what the man actually thought "room service" all entailed. Port police responded to the hotel, 135 E. Grand Ave., at 7:09 p.m. Tuesday after the manager called regarding a man who had requested assistance in his room, waiting naked for employees to arrive.
