Bodycam footage from Columbus, Ohio police has revealed the bizarre moment US Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder was arrested in a prostitution sting last week with no pants on.
Snyder was arrested last Friday around 8:30 p.m. local time and does not resist detainment, which took place next to a made bed.
About six officers are in the hotel room at the time of Snyder’s arrest, who helm him put on his pants.
‘Alright man listen, I’m not going to take you down the hallway doing the walk of shame,’ one police officer said to Snyder.
‘Put his pants on real quick. There’s other people in this hotel,’ another policeman added.
Snyder said in the footage the only other property he had in the room not in his possession at the time of his arrest was his shoes. He gives police his first and last name while walking out of the hotel in addition to stating he has no outstanding warrants.
