Naked man charged in death probe

HIAWATHA (AP) — A naked man who led police to find a dead body in Hiawatha is accused of breaking into and trying to burn down a church.

Joseph Hubbard, 32, was found wandering naked Friday morning. Police say that led them to conduct a welfare check at a nearby home, where they found the body of 56-year-old Deborah Roman.

Police have charged Hubbard with second-degree arson, third-degree burglary and assault causing bodily injury. Authorities say the charges aren’t connected to where the body was found. Hubbard and Roman lived together, but authorities haven’t elaborated on their relationship.
