The Screaming, Naked, Shotgun-Toting 19-Year Old
Strongsville, OH
A teenager who ran down a residential street screaming and yelling, then pointed a shotgun at two AT&T workers, has been charged.
According to a report, the incident occurred at 11:30 a.m. Jan. 24 on North Red Rock Drive.
Police received a call from a resident on the street who said a male, 19, who was running up and down the street naked, went back into his house and re-emerged with the shotgun.
The workers at whom the gun was pointed reportedly fled on foot and the youth dropped the gun and entered an AT&T vehicle with its engine running.
The youth drove the vehicle to Misty Lake Drive, where he collided with a construction vehicle.
Officers arrived immediately thereafter and located the teen hiding behind a backhoe. He was taken into custody at the scene without incident.
Due to his bizarre behavior and continued ranting, the teen was transported to Southwest General Health Center by Strongsville Fire Department paramedics.
No one was reported injured in the incident and the firearm, an unloaded double-barreled shotgun, was recovered on North Red Rock Drive.
Police said the teen, who was admitted to the health center for observation, is currently charged with aggravated robbery. An investigation of the incident is underway.

[...] There are plenty of horror stories about poor customer service from cable companies and telcos, but thanks to the low level of competition in the market, customers typically don’t have much recourse. Some localities are trying to change things, but there’s always a more extreme option consumers can take, like, say running out of the house naked and threatening some AT&T techs with a shotgun, before going for a joyride in their truck and crashing it into a piece of construction equipment (via Broadband Reports). That’s what an 19-year-old guy in Ohio did, and for his trouble he’s been charged with aggravated robbery and is being held in a medical facility for (presumably psychiatric) evaluation. No word, though, if they AT&T techs got his U-Verse service working. [...]
