Man hits Walmart in birthday suit

Published Sunday, June 10, 2012

Mental health officials are evaluating a man who was taken into custody after running naked through the aisles of Rhode Island Walmart store, swimming a river and sprinting across a highway in Warwick.

The Providence Journal reports that workers in the store at the Rhode Island Mall called police at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to report that a naked man was running through the store, yelling incoherently.

Police say the man, believed to be in his 30s, ran from the store, swam across the Pawtuxet River and was captured after running back and forth across Interstate 295.

He was taken to Kent County Hospital for evaluation. Authorities say they are still trying to determine who he is, because he wasn't carrying identification.
