LOGAN (AP) — Authorities say a man in northern Utah was arrested after he was caught wandering naked on the grounds of the Logan temple and told police he was looking for a wife.
The Herald-Journal newspaper in Logan reports that 53-year-old Kelly Thayne Archibald dropped a blanket around his waist and climbed the gate of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple in Logan on Nov. 13.
Police say he told investigators that he was naked because that's how he entered the world.
He's charged with lewdness by a sex offender, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. Archibald served prison time in Idaho after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a child under 16.
His lawyer didn't have comment on the case Wednesday. His next court hearing is Dec. 5.
