Detroit: Russell Rotta, 49, was arrested and sentenced for 30 days for jogging in the nude.
The police report said that he had been jogging naked since he was a teenager and that he generally woke up each day around 4 a.m. to conceal the activity from his wife.
The report also stated that he jogged in the nude six miles a day every day, if the weather permitted.
"That is the one wild, crazy thing that I do that makes me feel alive," police quoted him as saying.
He told the police that he wore just the reflective tape around his arms, ankles, waist and thighs to avoid being hit when he crossed roads.
Russell was arrested early April 4 after a caller reported seeing a naked man running in the southbound lane of U.S. Highway 127 in Blackman Township, about 70 miles west of Detroit.
In the police report, the responding officer wrote that he recalled several reports over the years of a naked man running in the area.
The officer said he spotted Russell by his shoe reflectors as he attempted to cross a road.
Russell pleaded guilty to a charge of indecent exposure May 22 in Jackson County district court.
In his defense he said that he didn't indulge this habit to disturb anyone or receive sexual gratification and also he generally confined his running to open fields and wooded areas away from roads.
Judge Joseph Filip sentenced him Tuesday to 24 months probation and $1,500 in fines and court costs
