No pants, no ticket: Arizona man accused of naked train surfing in Colorado

An Arizona man allegedly caught a wave without water — or pants — while train surfing in Colorado last week, authorities said.

Daniel Ray Ballance was arrested in Colorado on felony and misdemeanor charges, according to the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office.

“He broke a window on a locomotive and entered it. To some he blew the horn, to others he showed a little too much,” according to a statement from the sheriff’s office.

Ballance allegedly surfed naked on top of a moving Union Pacific locomotive last Thursday.

“Daniel expressed his love of vodka, beer and playing the banjo,” according to the statement from the sheriff’s office. “Unfortunately, we had to separate him from those loves and the train ride.”

The sheriff’s office also expressed condolences for those who had “the unfortunate experience” of being exposed to Ballance’s antics.

Ballance is from Quartzite, a small desert town by the Arizona-California border. It’s about 129 miles northwest of Phoenix.
