According to police, they had to deploy an electric stun gun on a nearly 300-pound naked man after he allegedly stole socks from a Walmart located in southeast Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, officers arrived at the scene in Exton, just west of Philadelphia, and discovered the suspect, identified as Verdon Lamont Taylor, who stands six-foot-four, inside the store with nothing but a pair of socks on.
Police stated that Taylor would not adhere to their commands, which led to the deployment of a stun gun. Furthermore, while in custody, Mr. Taylor reportedly spat in the face of one of the officers.
Surveillance footage acquired from Walmart captured Mr. Taylor as he exited a vehicle in the parking lot, stripped off all his clothing, entered the store completely naked, and approached the counter.
According to police accounts, it was at this point that Mr. Taylor stole the socks, slipped them on, and ventured further into the store.
The footage also depicted shoppers avoiding Mr. Taylor while he roamed around.
The 32-year-old, who resides in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, has been charged with multiple offenses, including indecent exposure, aggravated assault, simple assault, retail theft, receiving stolen property, and disorderly conduct, as reported by the police.
Authorities suspect that he might have been under the influence of substances.
After failing to post bail set at $50,000, he was taken to Chester County prison and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on March 21.
