Brandon Twp.- Deputies responding to Brandon High School on June 2 found a nude man in a vehicle with an assortment of items, including a large amount of candy.
According to police reports, deputies were responding to a panic alarm at about 11:30 p.m. at the high school, located at 1025 S. Ortonville Road. Upon arrival, the first deputy observed a parked vehicle with its headlights on. As he drove toward it, the vehicle began moving toward the exit and the deputy saw a bare-chested male as he passed.
The deputy stopped the vehicle and approached the driver, finding him completely naked. The second deputy arrived and the suspect’s vehicle began rolling forward. The first deputy ordered the suspect out of his vehicle at gunpoint. The man parked and said he needed to put on a robe, and exited while trying to put the garment on.
The deputy handcuffed the man and put him in his patrol car. He asked the suspect for his driver’s license, which the man didn’t have. The other deputy checked the school and found it secure.
In the suspect’s vehicle, the deputies observed binoculars and Kleenex in the cup holders, Curel Lotion in the driver’s door storage compartment, a bag of animal crackers and Sweet Tarts candy on the front passenger seat and more bags of Sweet Tarts, bubble gum and Sponge Bob Square Pants bubble gum on the backseat, as well as a BHS calendar.
The man said he was just driving around and turned around at the school. He said he was naked because it is a fetish of his. He said he has children, but they are grown and live in England. He said his wife has grown kids and they also have kids of their own and the candy was for them.
The deputies photographed the man and the items in his vehicle. Police will be pursuing a state law charge for indecent exposure against the man.
