SMAP member Kusanagi arrested for public nudity

Noticed this on the news site this morning:

Quote:
Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, a member of the pop group SMAP, was arrested Thursday for public indecency, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said.

Kusanagi, 34, was nabbed on the spot at around 3 a.m. for allegedly stripping naked under the influence of alcohol at a park in Tokyo's Akasaka district in Minato Ward. Neighbors had called the police as he had been making a noise, according to the police.

The member of the hugely popular group of five male vocalists is well known for his fluency in Korean and has starred in a number of TV dramas and movies.

In 2001, another SMAP member, Goro Inagaki, was arrested on suspicion of illegally parking his car and obstructing police officers from performing their duties in an attempt to dodge a parking ticket. He was spared indictment at that time.
Seems that a lot of Japanese celebrities are getting in hot water lately. He always seemed like a straight-laced kinda guy so this comes as a shock to me.
