There seemed to be an inordinate number of Schuylkill County news stories in the year 2020 that involved people in various stages of undress.
In many of them, people were completely naked for one reason or another.
Some are bizarre. Others were just deviant.

Regardless of the reasons why, here’s a look at our top news stories in 2020 involving someone being partially or completely nude.
Naked Man Dies Following Struggle with Police
We’re not sure what led to Adam Gamrak’s struggles earlier this year, but when police arrived at his home in February, they encountered a naked man – save for a sock around his … – acting erratically.
Gamrak and State Police got involved in a “lengthy struggle” in which several were injured, including Gamrak. He was taken to the hospital and died there a short time later.

Schuylkill County Man Took It Out in Local Business
It was a tough year to run a business in Schuylkill County (or anywhere, for that matter) but one Pine Grove business owner had a day they’d like to forget back in June.
While he was awaiting some kind of service, a person by the name of Jamie Koch apparently got bored and started watching some porn videos on his phone. He cranked up the volume on his phone so other patrons could hear what he was watching.
Koch then allegedly started making some vulgar remarks to the business owner before going to the bathroom inside the business. When the owner went to get him to tell him to leave, Koch allegedly flashed the woman, showing her what he’s made of.
Check out our story on that incident, including what some members of the public had to say about it:

Lots of interesting, bizarre things happened at the Cressona Mall in the year 2020. In fact, if the year 2020 were a shopping mall, it’d most definitely be the Cressona Mall.
Well, back in August, shoppers there spotted a man wandering around the parking lot wearing just his boxer shorts:
