Shyheim Myers told police that he “wanted to do something exhilarating.”

So that’s why, he says — according to a police report — he ran out of his apartment naked on April 17 and danced in the parking lot for several minutes, exposing his butt and — well, you know — to anyone who was watching.

Myers, 19, was charged with public indecency and released on a copy of charges.

The officer then met with Myers and told him what the witnesses saw. Police said Myers initially stated his dog ran out of his apartment and he ran out with a towel around his waist.

But the officer didn’t believe Myers as there were no signs of an animal living in his unit. That’s when Myers fessed up, police said.
