Naked Florida man wielding machete tried to steal another man's clothes, deputies say

A naked Florida man threw a machete at another man and tried to rob him of his clothes on Monday, authorities said.

Deputies responded to an area near the Volusia County Fairgrounds shortly before 10 a.m. after a surveyor reported that a naked man approached him with a large machete-style knife, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.

The victim told deputies that the suspect was picking palmetto berries in the woods and ran out of the brush brandishing the machete and demanding his clothes, wallet and phone.

He said he began to give the items over to the suspect when the naked man hurled the machete and a handful of berries at him. Deputies said the handle of the machete hit the victim in the chest and he wasn’t injured.

The suspect fled into the wooded area and took off in a white Dodge Challenger, the sheriff’s office said.

A responding deputy realized the circumstances and suspect description were similar to another incident in August 2021 involving a man named Brandon Wright, who was found running naked in the same area, according to authorities.

“He’s doing pushups at the entrance to the food store here,” the pilot states at one point.

News 6 has decided not to name the man after asking the sheriff’s office about his mental health and learning that he was detained under the state’s Baker Act in 2021. Online court records show another previous case also involved mental health concerns.

Remember the song where the guy said Hey Ethal as his wife joined the streaker?

Nothing wrong with picking berries naked though.

C'mon, who hasn't stripped down, armed themselves with a machete and tried to steal somebody's clothes?

Maybe the guy thought he was the Terminator from the original movie sent back in time to kill Sarah Conner.

Best thing is, his hame is BRANDON. Just another relative of the Biden Crime Family—but probably classier.

As amusing as this story sounds, this individual will be put back on the streets until he kills somebody.

“the suspect was picking palmetto berries in the woods”

Anyone watch that show “Killing It” with Craig Robinson? His character is from Florida and had a scheme to get rich with palmetto berries. Maybe the perp saw the show and got ideas.

Let me guess. The naked guy is a terminator sent from the future.
