Man in Hot Water After He Cooled Off ‘Au Natural’ at Salem’s Canobie Lake Park

An elderly man is due in court next month for being naked in the wave pool at Salem’s Canobie Lake Park.

Local police say officers were called to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday amid reports that a bather, later I.D.’d as 74-year-old John Carabello, was enjoying the water naked.

Park sources say responding officers took the visibly intoxicated Massachusetts man into protective custody on a charge of indecent exposure.

Carabello reportedly apologized for his behavior, saying he’d been drinking at a local park before he hit the wave pool.

A court date is pending.
