The Chron.com Froot Loop bureau is covering the local television news beat again this morning:
Deputies say a chase suspect took off his clothes as he tried to run from them in northwest Harris County, according to a report today by KTRK (Channel 13).
Authorities gave reporters this account: After pulling a driver over for speeding, the passenger in the vehicle got out and fled on foot. As deputies ran after him, the suspect stripped off his clothes and ran into a park.

UPDATE: More Froot Loop reporting from Chron.com!
A man man was rescued from his burning home in northwest Houston early this morning, according to a report today by KHOU (Channel 11).
Authorities gave KHOU reporters this account: The fire started around 1:45 a.m. in the 5800 block of Silver Forest, but firefighters were initially dispatched to West Tidwell.
When fire officials arrived at the first location, they saw a column of smoke and located the correct address of the fire. As they approached the home, they heard a man calling for help.
“When they went around the structure to see the extent of the fire, they heard somebody calling for help,” HFD spokesman Herman Gonzales said. “They figured out which window he was calling from; one of the firefighters gave him his mask to help him breathe.”
Another crew got inside the house and pulled him out before the flames could get to him. He suffered some mild smoke inhalation. The Houston Fire Department knocked out the blaze in about 30 minutes. Investigators believe the fire may have been started by a candle on the back porch.
A man man? Goodness.
