    Cops: Naked Pennsylvania man walks into Walmart, steals socks

    A completely nude man is caught on video walking into a Pennsylvania Walmart before finally slipping on a pair of socks. Msnbc.com's Al Stirrett reports.

    By msnbc.com and news services

    A southeastern Pennsylvania man is behind bars after police say he walked naked into a Philadelphia-area Walmart and stole a pair of socks.

    Verdon Lamont Taylor, 32, was arrested Wednesday night after police say he stripped off his clothes in the parking lot of the Exton store and went inside.


    Police told local media outlets that surveillance footage shows the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Downingtown man walking around the store wearing nothing but a pair of socks he had stolen there. The video also shows shoppers avoiding Taylor.

     Authorities say they used a stun gun to subdue Taylor after he refused to comply with officers' orders and spat in an officer’s face.

    Taylor was arraigned on charges including aggravated assault and indecent exposure, local media said. He's being held on $50,000 bail at Chester County Prison.

    Online court records do not list an attorney for Taylor, according to The Associated Press.
