According to police officials, a naked man was arrested for allegedly driving his truck through Southwest Center Mall in Dallas, attempting to steal clothes and a pair of Air Jordans. Arthur Walker, 35, was apparently only covered by a blanket when he smashed into the mall’s glass entrance, driving into a Champs Sporting Goods store. The Washington Post reports:

DALLAS — Police say a naked man crashed a pickup truck into a Dallas mall, then drove over a few kiosks before stopping to try on clothes.

Dallas police were called to the Southwest Center Mall around 7:30 a.m. Friday. Officers say the man was apparently covered only in a blanket when he drove his truck through the glass entrance doors, then crashed through several kiosks before driving into a Champs Sporting Goods store.

Once inside the store, police say he left his blanket in the truck and started putting on clothes and a pair of Air Jordan shoes.
