2012_8_7_cookingspray_small.jpg Police in Rock Island arrested a man Monday morning who was walking around naked and covered in cooking spray. (We don't know if it was original, butter or olive oil flavored spray.)

Chad William Forber, 41, of Blue Grass, was found at the 2200 block of 3rd Avenue in Rock Island wearing a towel, carrying a pair of shorts he said kept falling off his waist because they were too big, and "had lathered himself up with Crisco cooking spray," according to deputy police chief Jeff VenHuizen. Police searched Forber's shorts and allegedly found a small amount of methamphetamine. He was charged with one count each of possession of less than 5 grams of methamphetamine, resisting or obstructing a peace officer and possession of drug paraphernalia and was held on $40,000 bail.

If the producers of Breaking Bad haven't finished shooting the final season yet, let's hope this story gets incorporated into a plotline involving Skinny Pete
