Naked Aggressor in Wabash County

Wabash County officers swiftly responded to a 911 call for a disturbance at a residence on North Main Street in Bellmont.

The male suspect, driving a blue passenger car, was spotted fleeing the scene. A Deputy located the vehicle and witnessed the suspect driving erratically and at a dangerously high speed. The car eventually crashed east of Highway 15 and E 700 Rd intersection on the south side.

As the Deputy approached the vehicle, the male suspect’s behavior took a bizarre turn. He actively kicked out the back window of the car, became confrontational, and decided to smoke a cigarette. In a series of unpredictable actions, he began taking his clothes off, asked the officer questions, and then threw his cigarette at the Deputy, leaving the officers to deal with an increasingly erratic situation.

Additional officers from the Mt. Carmel Police Department arrived for assistance when they noticed the man not complying and marching naked in the snow.

The male suspect continued to talk about nuclear war, Jesus, and Donald Trump, all while threatening to take the officers’ guns and shoot them.

Officers used a taser for the safety of everyone involved.

The suspect, who has not been identified as of Thursday afternoon, was transported to Wabash General Hospital for a mental health evaluation.
