A naked man was arrested Tuesday morning after hijacking a Citizens Area Transit bus.
Las Vegas police said the man, 35-year-old Charles P. Sell, was first seen stealing a beer at the 7-Eleven on the corner of Lamb Boulevard and Washington Avenue about 8 a.m.
An officer arrived at the scene and the man fled, a police spokesman said.
Sell then climbed onto the back of a moving CAT bus traveling east on Washington, broke one of the back windows with his fists, and climbed in.
He threw the driver off the bus and drove it about 200 yards before jumping off, according to police. An officer climbed aboard and stopped it.
Sell was arrested and taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation before being booked at the Clark County Detention Center on felony charges of robbery, grand larceny and malicious destruction of private property, according to police.
He was being held on $14,000 bail.
Police said the man was possibly on drugs during the incident.

Good thing it wasn’t Obama’s bus.
He’s had a rough enough go of it lately as is.

I have a lot of sympathy - I mean, how easy is it to get a beer at 8:00 AM in Vegas when yer bucknekkid?
altho, it only says an officer jumped on the bus to stop it, doesn’t say how many it actually took to grab the perp.

I agree, btw, I am not trying to make light of what is and could have been a much more serious situation.
Hat tip to the LVPD and the job they do.

Beware the naked man who tells you he has a weapon and he’s not afraid to use it.

The alternate theory is that he was crazy.
More supporting evidence, or as the arresting officer told him:
“I can clearly see your nuts”...
