(11-30) 13:52 PST GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (AP) --

A man wearing only socks was arrested along a busy Germantown street after witnesses said he fired a gun at afternoon traffic.

Police charged Glenn Higgs, 44, with reckless endangerment, indecent exposure, firing a weapon in the city limits and public intoxication. Temperatures were in the 40s when the incident occurred Tuesday.

"I couldn't believe it," said Eddie Cox, who was driving home from the bank when he saw the naked gunman near Hacks Cross Road in this Memphis suburb.

"There was a nude man in the middle of the street," Cox said. "He just stopped, kind of spread-eagle in the middle of the street."

Cox said when he tried to drive by, the man grabbed for his vehicle door handle. He then saw the man extend his arm and point toward Hacks Cross Road.

"I saw the smoke and heard the explosion," Cox said, "So, obviously, there's a gun."

Cox called police, who arrested Higgs at the scene and found a revolver in a nearby yard.

Higgs was sent to Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital for a foot injury sustained when he earlier jumped from the second story of his home. Police, who gave no motive for the naked gunman incident, reported no other injuries.

Yeh, RIGHT. Firing a fucking gun at traffic warrants a humor citation. Please forgive me if I don't find the fucking humor here.

I just ran across this.
To put this in perspective for weirdness, the area is sort of the local equivalent to Belair, at least to most people.
On the fourth of July, cannon fire was repeatedly heard in the area.
No naked artillery though.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

Thats nothing. In Holland there was a guy a couple of months ago that wore his mothers' SKIN and then started directing traffic Image

He had killed his mom, skinned her and then went outside in her skin. The police were gonna arrest him because he was directing traffic and in the nude, as they approached him they noticed something was off.
Haven't heard a follow up though, the whole case just vanished from the media. Now THATS a weird and insane guy Image
