HOUSTON -- It was quite a sight for the lunchtime crowd along one of Houston's busiest streets -- a man decided to carry his clothes instead of wearing them as he walked along Westheimer, officials told News2Houston.

Nude Man's Arrest Caught On Tape

By the time police arrested him 10 blocks later, the man, identified as Brandon Weeks, had dropped his clothes and was just walking nude, according to witnesses.

It took four police officers and three bystanders to subdue Weeks on Westheimer near Chimney Rock.

"The biggest thing was that he was slippery. There's no pants or nothing to hang onto," said Andrew Green, a witness.

Green called police and followed Weeks until officers arrived to make sure he did not dart into traffic.

"I didn't want him to hurt himself. He blasted right through Chimney Rock traffic, and he almost got hit," Green said. "So, I'm following him really for his own safety."

Witnesses said the nude man created quite a scene along the busy street.

"Twelve o'clock in the middle of the day -- that's kind of like the last thing you expect -- some guy walking down the street stark naked," said Greg Moore, a witness.

"I'm a retired police officer. I thought I'd help," said Stacey Crisp. "He said his name was Brandon and he was Jesus. That's what he told me."

Weeks was taken to Ben Taub Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Houston police said he has a history of drug-related arrests. Weeks faces several charges, according to investigators.
