BETHLEHEM, Pennsylvania - A college student in Pennsylvania goes on a naked, acid-fueled rampage.

The Morning Call reports Nicholas Tanen, 19, of Harleysville admitted being high on LSD when he allegedly exposed himself to female students at Lehigh University, pulled one to the ground and then pulled a fire alarm in a dorm last weekend.

University police responded to Stoughton dorm at 5 p.m. Saturday where they found Tanen walking around naked in the hallway.

When confronted by police, Tanen allegedly began fighting with officers and firefighters.

According to court documents, University police also received calls Tanen entered two dorms and exposed himself to at least three female students.

He pulled one of them to the ground on top of him, making sexual movements with his body.

Tanen then fled the room and pulled the fire alarm.

He was later taken to the hospital and admitted taking LSD and pulling the fire alarm.

Tanen was not sure why he was wondering around naked or why he entered the victim’s dorm rooms, but said he was “on a trip” from drugs.

Tanen is charged with indecent assault, indecent exposure, trespassing, resisting arrest and tampering with fire equipment. His bail was set at $500,000.
