Why I love the Amarillo Globe-News. They can make the story of a naked guy at the mall sound interesting. Why? Because it is. Just check out the headline:

In search of the 100-percent-off pants deal


A 19-year-old Amarillo man made an au naturel appearance at Westgate Mall on Wednesday morning, shocking onlookers who got quite a bit more than they bargained for on their shopping trips.
Not counting, of course, those that went to Westgate mall with the intent to see a naked 19 year old man. Keep in mind mall shoppers are primarily women, so the naked man wasn't a disappointment to everyone.
The man reportedly drove around the mall parking lot for as long as 30 minutes, stopping several times to put on a show in his birthday suit for bystanders before mall security took him into custody.
Well what kind of show are we talking about? Juggling? Interpretive dance? It sounds like it may have been the cultural event of the season in Amarillo. . .
The man apparently wanted to check out the selection in other parts of the mall, so he moved to several other areas of the parking lot.
I'm no police pathologist or a criminal psychologist, but I think that he wanted others to check out his selection in other areas of the parking lot, not the other way around.

Hey, was he naked when he left the jail?
No word was available Wednesday on what he was wearing when he left the jail.
Whew! We all know how constricting that orange denim can be, right?
