Naked Man Found Walking on Trail

A man found walking around naked on a walking trail near a Norcross apartment complex didn’t seem too fazed by a Gwinnett County Police officer’s interest in finding out what he was doing. When the officer approached and identified himself, the man picked up a cup from the ground and poured water over his head, according to the police report. He was advised to put his clothes back on, and was then charged with public indecency and public intoxication. 

In other strange crime news:

If you saw witches, you might do the same: Oconee County Sheriff’s deputies investigating a report of gunfire found a 66-year-old man who said he fired his shotgun into the air “to scare the witches away.” His guns -- two rifles and a shotgun -- were turned over to his son for safekeeping. 

The cheese did him in: It was “cheese residue” on the face of a Winder man that led to a shoplifting charge at a grocery store. The man was reportedly seen putting a package of cheese in his jacket and then entering the restroom. He was found in one of the stalls with crumbs on his face and leftover cheese floating in the toilet.

Here’s a good one: A Grayson man, who was stopped for rear-ending a car at a red light and then leaving the scene, told police it didn’t happen that way. Instead, he said the car in front of him backed into his car. The man's story might have been more believable if he hadn’t left the scene, then pull a U-turn in somebody’s front yard. When police asked why he left the scene, he said he didn’t think it was that big of a deal. The man, who had an outstanding arrest warrant against him, also tested above the legal limit for alcohol.

Cold medicated: A 26-year-old man was found stumbling, slurring his speech and unable to think clearly when Lawrenceville Police stopped him in a Wendy’s parking lot. But he registered a zero on a police-administered Alco-senor test. Why did he appear to be intoxicated? He admitted he had taken 32 cold-medicine tablets to get high. It apparently worked.
