Jereme Rogers: I did go on a naked skateboarding rampage at NYC hotel

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Professional skateboarder Jereme Rogers went on a naked rampage at a Manhattan hotel last week - reportedly while on his skateboard. On Wednesday, he pleaded guilty, telling a New York City judge he was "something like the Hulk" when he tore paintings off the walls at the Affinia Shelburne.

Rogers, 26, blamed his bizarre, naked ruckus on drinking and what he thought were anti-hangover pills. He said a woman he met at a bar gave him the pills.

Rogers retired from skateboarding in 2009 to become a rap artist, but announced a planned comeback last year. He says he's skating "better than ever."

He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge for his shenanigans at the Shelburne. Jemere RogerHis case will be closed without further jail time or probation if he pays $2,850 in restitution.

The hotel declined to comment.
