Naked Man Taunted Police Before He Was Stunned, Arrested: Cops

RACINE, WI — The neighbors of a 44-year-old Mount Pleasant man got more than they bargained for Sunday after eyewitnesses said the man ran naked in the street while also taunting officers, police said.

A criminal complaint filed in Racine County says the man has been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and lewd and lascivious behavior stemming from the incident Sunday on the 7200 block of Kinzie Ave.

Authorities say they came to the man's apartment Sunday just before 7 p.m. after a person in the apartment called 911 to say that the man had been "high for the past two days and was acting strangely."

Witnesses also said the man had been running naked in the street, police said.

According to the criminal complaint, they found him standing outside in the nude. Police said the man taunted officers, insulting them and their families.

Police said the man's behavior "caused several individuals from the upper apartment units to look out of their windows and open their shades."

Authorities said he retreated back to his house once police and fire personnel tried taking him into custody.

According to the criminal complaint, police had to use a taser on the man in order to make the arrest. Police said he tried to spit on first responders, who ultimately had to use a sedative on him in order to transport him to Ascension Hospital for treatment.
