'He is naked, yelling at people in the parking lot’: Wild moment nude Florida man armed with a machete is arrested after he tried to steal another man's clothes

A Florida man, completely naked and armed with a machete, ended up lying on his stomach and arrested after trying to steal another man's clothes Monday.

Brandon Wright, 34, was allegedly picking palmetto berries in the woods in the town of DeLand, officials in Volusia County say.

Wright suddenly wielded a large, machete-style knife and demanded that a nearby surveyor give him his clothes, wallet and phone, according to QFox13.

The surveyor started to comply until Wright threw the machete and some of the berries he'd collected at him. Luckily, the sword hit the surveyor by the handle and bounced off his chest.

He then made off into the woods before getting into a white Dodge Challenger and trying to make his getaway.

A license plate reader tipped law enforcement off to Wright and a short time later, they were alerted to a naked man near a gas station.

Footage captured from a helicopter shows Wright being spotted as police officers get on the scene.

Someone in the helicopter could be heard solemnly stating: 'He is naked, yelling at people in the parking lot. Very animated'.

As the official describes, Wright then starts to walk away from the fueling station into traffic and starts yelling at people.

Wright then comes back to the gas station and starts to do push-ups, for some reason.

Naked “Florida man” must be one of the FBI agents rummaging through Melania’s closet in Mar-Lago. LOL

He may identify as a bear. Naked and picking berries is okay. The machete, not so much.

By the way, THIS is an A level Florida Man story. The Machete could happen everywhere. The naked could happen in California. But the machete, naked, threatening AND picking berries and throwing the machete instead accepting the loot can happen nowhere else.

“Florida man, completely naked and armed with a machete...”

Sounds like a movie premise that’s better than 99% of what Hollywood ends up doing.

Police say he's also ran around naked in this area back in August 2021 and has previous convictions for false imprisonment, coke possession and battery on a police officer.

But it was too late.

Nope, not legal without a permit, even on your own property:

I suppose that *may* explain a few things about this crazy story. Or maybe not. It’s Florida Man after all.
