ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) - Police have arrested a 32-year-old naked man who allegedly took a woman hostage and threw furniture out an apartment window during a standoff with authorities.

 

No injuries were reported in Saturday's standoff which lasted over three hours in Rockford.

 

Kevin Bailey of Romeoville was charged with assault on a police officer, unlawful restraint and criminal damage to property.

 

According to the Rockford Register Star, police were called to an apartment after reports of a man knocking on doors with a baseball bat.

 

Authorities say Bailey sprayed an officer with a fire extinguisher, ran into a woman's apartment and took her hostage.

 

Bailey barricaded himself in a bathroom naked. He allegedly threw a television and dresser out the window.

 

It was immediately unclear if Bailey had an attorney.

There was a television in the bathroom?

Actually, it wasn't concealed. Naked people tend not to hide things very well.
