This week in Placer County history

A photo of Ray Stevens wearing a vest and yellow baseball hat and holding a microphone

On March 19, 1974, Lincoln Police Department officers arrested a man for streaking. According to the March 21, 1974 Lincoln News Messenger: “Police Chief Robert Jimenez said calls began coming into the police dispatcher about 10 p.m. Tuesday night that there was a male streaker on Highway 65 between Fifth and Sixth streets. A police unit responded and apprehended a male nude subject who was quickly placed in the police car.”

Streaking was a popular phenomenon in the 1970s, especially in the United States, and 1974 was a high point. On April 2, 1974, a streaker interrupted presenter David Niven at the 46th Academy Awards. In May of 1974, the song “The Streak,” written and performed by Ray Stevens, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. 

In 1974, thousands of streakers caught people's attention worldwide, and Placer County was not immune. The March 21, 1974 Lincoln News Messenger said it best: “It had to happen sooner or later!”
