Naked Man Steals Socks at Walmart
02/22/2012
It's a very common nightmare.
There you are, naked as the day you were born, in a very public place with everyone staring at you.
In Exton, Pennsylvania, Verdon Lamont Taylor lived that nightmare when he found himself wide awake in a Walmart with not a stitch of clothing on his person.
But the 6'4", 300-pound man didn't just wallow in embarrassment. He did something about it.
He shoplifted a pair of socks and calmly put them on his feet, in what we can only imagine was a first step in his re-dressing process.
But police saw it differently, as the facts presented themselves and ruined our “waking nightmare” theory of the events.
Witnesses reported that Verdon had very methodically and deliberately stripped off all his clothes in the parking lot.
Also, he didn't seem relieved to see the authorities and accept their help in covering up (literally, not in the criminal sense) an embarrassing situation.
In fact, Mr. Taylor was so unhappy to see them that they had to use a stun gun to subdue him after he refused to comply with officers' orders.
Taylor was arraigned on charges including aggravated assault and indecent exposure. He's being held on $50,000 bail.
We can only hope, keeping in mind the viral emails spotlighting the physical conditioning of some shoppers in these retail establishments, that naked shoplifting does not become the hot craze of 2012.
