A license plate reader tipped law enforcement off to Wright and a short time later, they were alerted to a naked man near a gas station.  

Footage captured from a helicopter shows Wright being spotted as police officers get on the scene.  

Someone in the helicopter could be heard solemnly stating: ‘He is naked, yelling at people in the parking lot. Very animated’.

As the official describes, Wright then starts to walk away from the fueling station into traffic and starts yelling at people. 

Wright then comes back to the gas station and starts to do push-ups, for some reason.

Officers arrived shortly after and forced Wright to lie on his stomach as they arrested him. 

Wright was jailed and charged with attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police say he’s also ran around naked in this area back in August 2021 and has previous convictions for false imprisonment, coke possession and battery on a police officer.
