Naked man accused of chasing Walmart employees around parking lot, FL cops say

A far-fetched 911 call about a naked man chasing Walmart employees around the parking lot proved to be accurate, according to police in North Florida.

The man was still naked when police arrived around 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 8, the Lake City Police Department reported in a news release.

It happened at the Walmart on West U.S. Highway 90 in Lake City, and the store was closed to customers at the time. No injuries were reported.

“Upon arrival, officers were advised ... that an unknown male, completely nude, was chasing employees in the parking and had fled toward a wooded area north of the store,” police said.

“Officers canvassed the area and located a male on his hands and knees in a wooded area. The subject appeared to be agitated and paranoid.”

The 33-year-old man was taken to a hospital and staff “medically cleared” him to be arrested and taken to jail.

He was identified at the jail via fingerprints and charged with indecent exposure and resisting an officer without violence, police said.

Lake City is about a 60-mile drive southwest from Jacksonville.
