PAINT-COVERED MAN FOUND WITH DEER PARTS

EAST FISHKILL — Covered in red paint and carrying the head and leg of a dead deer, a man roamed an interstate median Thursday, state police said.
A state trooper spotted 19-year-old Jesse Carlson of Hopewell Junction about 11:25 a.m. Thursday on a stretch of Interstate 84 in the Town of East Fishkill.
Police said Carlson couldn’t give a reasonable explanation for walking on the highway, being covered in the red paint or having the deer parts.
It’s against the law to walk on a controlled-access highway, so police arrested Carlson for that and added charges of disorderly conduct and possession of graffiti instruments.
He was issued an appearance ticket for a March 12 date in town court.

Note that it's not against the law to carry deer parts, or to be painted red . . . I was worried about that when I saw the headline.
