According to a report from WSB-TV in Atlanta, police arrested and charged a man who was caught on video running around Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport without any clothes.

According to the report, investigators are still trying to determine the details of the incident that occurred around 6:30 a.m. ET on Thursday. The video shot by passenger Gregory Evans shows the man, identified as 23-year-old Derrick Weems, jumping and yelling as he is confronted by several officers in a gate area.

According to Evans, Weems stood near the gate for around 30 minutes before police arrived.

I imagine that they wanted to restrain him, but weren’t inclined to touch him. Maybe next time they should be equipped with lassos.

Yes it was. Wish they had better quality of video so you could see the expression on his face as he is tazed.

Well at least he wasn’t wearing a Redskins Jersey; that would have been in bad taste.

Sounds like he said “I believe in God” right before he got zapped — what do you think?

I normally say the police are too quick to resort to tazing nowadays. However, in the case of a naked person I have no objections. Nobody wants to have to manhandle that (supermodels excluded of course).

Gotta be caused by global warming, don’t ya think? Soon the mooonbats will conclude it was also Bush’s fault.

I heard that, too. I also hear him calling for Uncle Ed as he’s jumping up and down.
