NEW YORK (AP) — A professional skateboarder has been accused of ripping pictures off the walls in a New York City hotel in a naked rampage.
Jerome Rogers was arraigned Friday on a charge of criminal mischief. Prosecutors say he was found naked in the hallway of his hotel. Broken glass and ripped paintings were strewn around him, and he had cuts on his hands.
He is accused of causing at least $2,500 damage at the Affinia Shelburne Hotel. The hotel did not comment, and a call to Rogers’ attorney was not returned.
Rogers is 26. He retired from the sport in 2009 to become a rap artist, but announced in a YouTube video a year later that he was making a comeback.
