Sometimes I really can't believe it when I read in the news how people act, but then, there's video footage to prove that they actually do act in these ways. What makes them act in these ways? I guess being of sound mind and body (so I think), I couldn't understand why people act the way they do.
Take 32-year-old Verdon Lamont Taylor (pictured above) for instance. The man needed a pair of socks, so he walked into a WalMart to get it. Oh, yeah! He walked in wearing his birthday suit and he stole the pair of socks. He did what? How can you walk into WalMart naked and steal anything? Where would you out it?
Anyway, 300-pound Taylor was arrested on Wednesday evening as he wandered around the Exton, Pennsylvania WalMart wearing nothing, but the stolen socks. Oh, that's where he put them! Surveillance video showed Taylor stripping down in the parking lot outside of the store before entering. The footage from inside the store shows baffled customers moving away, as to avoid the naked Taylor, as he selects a pair of socks and carefully puts them on.
The responding officers had to use a stun gun on Taylor after he refused to comply with their orders. After, he spit in an officer's face, they restrained him and loaded him into an ambulance. One officer said that Taylor was just babbling and talking incoherently, leading them to believe that there was a substance abuse issue. Um, duh? Thank you, Captain Obvious!
The alleged sock thief was charged with aggravated assault, indecent exposure and retail theft, among other account, and held on $50,000 bail. The officer went on to say that he's never seen anything like this! Yeah, I don't think that anyone's really seen anything like this. Personally, I kind of feel sorry for the guy. Yes, he was out of his mind and he stole and he spit on a cop, but you have to have some set of cojones to walk into a retail store butt naked! Especially at 300-pounds!
