CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) -- A naked man attacked a Cape Girardeau police officer and tried go to grab his gun before officers used a stun gun to subdue him.

The incident happened Sunday afternoon as police responded to a call of an attempted break-in at a trailer park, police spokesman Jason Selzer said. At the scene, police spotted the naked man walking.

As an officer was getting out of his car, the 52-year-old man walked toward the squad car and grabbed the officer, slamming him into the side of the vehicle.

The officer fired his stun gun, but the assailant kept attacking, grabbing at the officer's neck. When the two fell to the ground, the man attempted to grab the officer's handgun, Selzer said.

The man was suspected of being under the influence of drugs, and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

kimmie, take a look at my join date and FYI...I was here for almost a year before that. If you think that I don't have a "thick skin" AND a sense of humor, think again. :-)

Yes, you had far too thin a skin. I'm sorry that we got off on such a bad footing; it was late, each, in our own way, we were standing up for the Limbaughs, so let's just shake and forget it. No big deal.............it's over.

So here I am, to say, I was dead wrong last night.

Very gracious to come back and admit that. Rush's comment may have been funnier to those who've followed his running joke about his brother over the past few weeks.

Thanks. :-)

It's VERY rare, but when I am wrong, I ALWAYS go back to the thread and admit it.

As I said earlier, I no longer listen to Rush daily, and no, I still don't find it "funny". Perhaps I would have, if I had heard it as the "running joke", but I doubt it. Rush now annoys me more than delights.
