Alleged naked doorbell ringer pleads not guilty:

A San Francisco man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he rang doorbells while naked and fled from San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies while wearing only tennis shoes. Peter Allen Steele, 38, entered the pleas Tuesday in San Mateo County Superior Court. He is being held in lieu of $60,000 bail. At least two residents in the Woodside and Portola Valley area reported seeing Steele standing naked outside their homes July 11 after he rang their doorbells, said Steve Wagstaffe, chief deputy district attorney.
