A man accused of skinny-dipping in a shark tank at Ripley's Aquarium has had his case put over a day.

He wore a red-and-black striped shirt as he stood in the prisoner's box.

- Aquarium skinny-dipper wanted for earlier, violent assault
Police say Weaver, 37, allegedly stripped naked and jumped into a tank at the downtown Toronto aquarium late last Friday.
The Nelson, B.C., resident was arrested in Thunder Bay on Wednesday, police said, and was transported back to Toronto.
Weaver was also wanted in connection with an assault earlier Friday evening, police said.
The alleged assault took place outside of Medieval Times at Exhibition Place, police said, and the victim suffered serious injuries. It is believed the assailant fled and went to the aquarium, about five kilometres east.
Weaver is facing a total of three charges, including assault causing bodily harm and two types of mischief.
A video of Weaver's alleged swim at the aquarium made headlines Monday. It shows a man taking off his clothes and diving into the Dangerous Lagoon, a 2.9-million-litre tank with several marine animals, including 17 sharks.
