A 5-foot-11, 265-pound teenager stormed through a Jack in the Box parking lot in broad daylight naked last Friday evening and allegedly punched a man in the jaw while mumbling incoherently.
A Redmond Police officer subdued the 16-year-old suspect with a taser and then arrested him, according to Redmond Police Department spokesperson Jim Bove.
“It’s a little weird, especially him being naked,” Bove said. “This one was so random.”
The King County Prosecutor’s office has yet to file any charges.
According to Bove, the teen suspect walked through the parking lot of the Jack in the Box, at 16280 NE 87th St., around 7:30 p.m. and opened up the back door of a car pulling into a parking stall.
The suspect then ripped a pair of sunglasses off the head of the driver’s girlfriend, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Then as the driver got out of the car, the suspect ran over to him and punched him in the jaw, Bove said.
Moments later, a Redmond Police officer showed up and tried to arrest the man, who was sweaty and difficult to contain, according to Bove. Finally, after the suspect refused to cooperate, the officer was forced to use his taser to subdue the suspect, Bove said.
The suspect was transported to Evergreen Hospital Medical Center in Kirkland.
Bove said drugs or alcohol may be a possibility in this case, but he did not want to speculate.
