BOULDER, Colo. — Boulder police have ticketed about a dozen people running naked on the street while sporting freshly gutted pumpkins on their heads as part of an annual Halloween event.
The citations for indecent exposure Friday night came as dozens of other costumed revelers, including a man with a red cape and a sword, chanted to police officers to let go of the streakers and “find real criminals.”
The event known in Boulder as the Naked Pumpkin Run has been held for 10 years. This year it drew a huge crowd.
Boulder police Chief Mark Beckner said officers “wanted to do something before (the event) got out of hand.”
