Naked Man Arrested After Causing A Scene At A Delaware Restaurant
A naked man was arrested after causing a scene at a Delaware restaurant. It, also, might not be his first time getting in trouble with the law.
The incident happened at the Southern Grille on Main Street in Ellendale, Delaware. Customers at the restaurant seemingly got more than they asked for when a man was arrested for running through the establishment naked and then trying to attack people, per WMDT. Reports say he was trying to stab people! You don’t want to be stabbed by a naked man at a Delaware restaurant. The man has since been identified as William H. Hicks, Jr. It sounds like it wasn’t easy bringing him into custody as he didn’t listen to troopers’ commands and had to be tased. Eventually, they were able to take him into custody.
Naked Man Causes Chaos At Delaware Restaurant
Witnesses described the scene to WMDT and it sounds pretty crazy! One witness told WMDT that Hicks struck them in the face while another said he was going up to several tables and tried to eat their food all while being naked. If a naked man approaches you wanting some of your food, you should probably just give it to him. I don’t want any sort of argument or fight to start. I would just want him out of there as soon as possible, if not sooner.
After being arrested, Hicks was reportedly taken to a local hospital where court documents say he told nurses that he didn’t know how he got to the restaurant or why he was naked. He did admit to smoking marijuana, per WMDT. He’s now facing many charges including counts of indecent exposure. It sounds like nobody at the restaurant was injured during the chaos. That’s good news.
While this all sounds wild, it wasn’t his first run-in with the law. Back in 2011, he was arrested in connection with a shooting of a 35-year-old male. It sounds like he was accused of holding the victim up at gunpoint and demanded drugs and money, per Delaware Online. Several shots were reportedly fired in that case as well. The victim did end up surviving that shooting despite serious injuries suffered. He also got in trouble for trafficking heroin, per Delaware Online. He has 12.18 grams of heroin discovered in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
