LAKELAND, Florida (AP) - Authorities say a homeless man was sleeping in a Lakeland gas station carwash when a truck ran over his legs.

Police say 59-year-old John Tyer went into the carwash Tuesday to get out of the rain. He told an emergency responder that he had been drinking earlier that day.

Later that afternoon, police say 32-year-old Paul Stiles drove his 2005 Dodge Ram into the carwash and ran over Tyer's legs. Stiles told police he initially thought it was part of the mechanism that triggers the carwash. When he realized it was a person, he put the truck in reverse and ran over Tyer again.

Bartow, Florida -- Leave it to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd to find an interesting way to save money. He's now focusing on inmates' underwear.

Sheriff Judd says beginning in August, prisoners will have to pay for their own underwear. Boxers will be $4 and briefs will be $2.50.

Judd says if prisoners don't want to buy them, then they'll be going commando.

"For those who want underwear, they can buy underwear," says Judd.  "For those who don't, they can let the breeze blow up one leg and down the other."

By not paying for the inmates' underwear, the Judd says $45,000 a year will be saved.
