Nude Man Crashes Pickup Truck into Mall

RED BIRD - Dallas police identified Arthur Walker, 35, as the nude man who drove a pickup truck through Southwest Center Mall Friday morning.

Police said he drove through the double doors, straight into several kiosks and then took a right and drove straight through the pulled down gates of a Champs Sports store.

“He hit the door, backed up, and came back with full force again, and that’s when he came on in here,” said Delcina Avery, who watched from the parking lot as the man sped into the glass doors.

“I guess he was just crazy -- it never dawned on me that it was Friday, the 13th,” she said.

The man then got out of the truck and started dressing himself in clothes from the store, including putting on socks and a brand new pair of Nike Jordan sneakers

The question what moviated the guy to be naked and to drive around us naked. He had to be on something. Probably high on meth or bath salts.

A sane person would not do this act.

I worked there when I was in high school 30something years ago. It was just called Red Bird Mall then.

I once had to call the cops because I got shoplifted for a pair of boots (I worked in a shoe store) but all I got was mall cops.
