Lower Saucon Township Police say a 17-year-old boy from Bethlehem is facing a variety of charges after he allegedly trespassed in a home in the 1800 block of Mansfield Street, Society Hill, shortly before 7 p.m. Nov. 19 and was then found naked from the waist down and screaming on nearby Willings Lane.

In a news release issued Friday, police said officers responded to Mansfield Street for a report of a burglary in progress and spoke with a female resident, who said an “unknown male had entered her residence.”

When the boy was taken into custody he was screaming and yelling, and subsequently told officers he believed he had taken LSD, police said.

He is charged with trespassing, open lewdness, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and possession of a small amount of marijuana.
