ST. GEORGE – Police responded Friday afternoon to reports of an allegedly naked man in front of a business on 500 East in St. George.
A naked individual was seen in front of Desert Rose Floral, 70 North 500 East, urinating in front of a tree, St. George Police Sgt. Sam Despain said.
Officers responded to the scene and encountered the unclothed man, identified as 50-year-old Bruce Stucki, and took him into custody.
“We believe alcohol was a factor in this incident,” Despain said.
Stucki faces potential charges of lewdness and public intoxication in relation to the incident.
As of 5:55 p.m., charges had not yet been filed against Stucki, according to bookings information from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
Persons arrested or charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided by a trier-of-fact.

“70 North 500 South, ” Now that would be a very hard address to find. Even in St. George.
Correct. The error has been fixed. If I ever give you directions in person, I recommend getting a second opinion.
Not THAT Bruce Stucki. Another, more free wheeling Bruce Stucki.
A quick web search shows the address of Desert Rose Floral to be 70 North 500 East.
but it still says 500 South and later 500 East…oopsies.
I’m starting to think I should give relative locations by landmarks. It might be safer than my attempts to put actual addresses in print.
We do strive to get things accurate, but as this cases illustrates, it doesn’t always happen the first time around.
Mori, just point in the general vicinity.
I suppose you could use GPS coordinates! 😉 Hey man, we all have those days, sometimes. . .
IF THIS HAD BEEN IN HURRICANE… WELL, YOU KNOW. JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE CHERISHED PETS AND LIVESTOCK!
CEDAR ALSO! BE SAFE
Bobber, the sheep are okay over in Hurricane unless you visit. Does your name have anything to do with fondness of farm animals?
Yea farmer Brown caught him so he can’t go back to Hurricane and Cedar city
Miss his “friends”
Glad to see they just arrested him and didnt shoot him
Well, the suspect was waving around his lil’ shooter, so you couldn’t blame them if they did.
Ohhh, I just noticed this is a “News Short”. Very sneaky, Mori. We see what you did there…
He’s just another Dixie guy showing off his gun
Bobber was out drinking eh.?
