NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- No shirt, no service? What about no clothes at all?
A couple that began squabbling in a motel room Friday morning carried their dispute over to an adjacent Waffle House diner in the nude, police said.
A woman, who was not identified, told officers she was staying in a room with Larry Boyd when he took a hit of cocaine, starting trashing their room and choking her.
She ran in the buff to the 24-hour diner off Interstate 40 west of downtown Nashville and locked herself in the bathroom. Boyd, also naked, followed her into the restaurant and then fled in a car.
He was arrested -- still naked -- after a short chase by police and was charged with driving under the influence, felony evading arrest and other charges.
