Street Gang Life

A naked man drove his pickup truck into a closed shopping mall, mowing down kiosks before stopping and robbing a sport store, police said. After smashing his truck through the mall’s glass doors Arthur Walker allegedly drove through the gates of a Champs Sports store. The 35-year-old then leaped out his red Dodge pickup truck and dressed himself in the store’s clothing, including a pair of Nike Jordan sneakers. The bizarre rampage unfolded at 7.30am Friday at the Southwest Center Mall in Dallas. Police arrived and arrested Walker inside the clothing store. Sgt. Elliott Forge removed the Nike sneakers to return to the store before Walker was taken to a hospital for evaluation. ‘I only took off the sneakers, because nobody wants to see him nude. We can at least return the sneakers,’ Forge told WFAA. Forge added that he believed the suspect was not in his right mind and said that when they deal with people who are naked they are usually under the influence of some kind of narcotic. Before the mall occurrence, Walker was involved in a domestic disturbance and left the home naked, police said. A woman called police shortly before 7.30am saying that a naked man had approached her car wrapped in only a blanket. She told police he told her to get out the vehicle but she drove away. Police have not released the results of Walker’s medical evaluation. No-one was injured in the mall crash, which happened before the arcade opened its doors to customers. Walker was jailed without bond on a burglary charge. Dallas County Jail records list no attorney for him.
