GERMANTOWN, Tennessee- A man wearing only socks was arrested along a busy street after witnesses said he fired a gun at traffic.
Police charged Glenn Higgs, 44, of Germantown with reckless endangerment, indecent exposure, firing a weapon in the city limits and public intoxication. Temperatures were in the 40s Fahrenheit (4 to 10 Celsius) when the incident occurred Tuesday.
Eddie Cox was driving home from the bank when he saw the naked gunman in this Memphis suburb.
“There was a nude man in the middle of the street,” Cox said. “He just stopped, kind of spread-eagle in the middle of the street.”
Cox said when he tried to drive by, the man grabbed for his vehicle door handle. He then saw the man extend his arm and point toward the road.
Cox said he saw smoke and heard a gunshot. He called police, who arrested Higgs 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. No one else was hurt, police said.
