There are dumb criminals and then there's what a man named Bill Merit is accused of doing.

The Savannah, Georgia resident had been in jail for two days after being booked on charges of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

When his captors let him out on Wednesday, they provided him with some clothes to wear as he left the grounds. But it turns out Merit didn't much like the duds, for some reason thinking they were stolen - which would certainly be an odd thing for a justice system institution to hand out.

So minutes after being released, he took them off.

Unfortunately for him and everyone else in the area, he didn't have a replacement.

Minutes later, witnesses began calling police about a naked man wandering down the road near the facility. Cops collared the 49-year-old and sent him right back to where he came from, this time on charges of public indecency.

A police report indicates there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the suspect, bizarrely noting he "appeared rational, except for being naked."

He remains in jail, hopefully fully clothed.

We can only hope when he gets out, he likes the next outfit a lot better.
