ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Police in Annapolis say they used a stun gun on a naked man who failed to comply with an officer's orders to stop.

Police say it happened Monday just before 10 a.m. when authorities received a call that a naked man was walking along Forrest Drive. An Annapolis Police Department officer arrived and a Prince George's County officer was on scene. Police say the man did not obey an order to stop and the Annapolis officer used a stun gun to get the man under control.

Television station WUSA-TV reports the man is being charged with indecent exposure and that authorities say the man may have been under the influence of PCP.
