Police: Naked Man Fires Gun at Traffic
GERMANTOWN, Tenn. — A man wearing only socks was arrested along a busy street after witnesses said he fired a gun at afternoon traffic.
Temperatures were in the 40s when the incident occurred Tuesday. Police said no witnesses were injured.
Glenn Higgs, 44, of Germantown, was charged with reckless endangerment, indecent exposure, firing a weapon in the city limits and public intoxication, authorities said.
"I couldn't believe it," said Eddie Cox, who was driving home from the bank when he saw the naked gunman in this Memphis suburb.
Cox called police, who arrested Higgs at the scene and found a revolver in a nearby yard.
Higgs was sent to a hospital for a foot injury sustained when he earlier jumped from the second story of his home, authorities said.
