Las Vegas - Maybe he lost his shirt at a casino. Police in Las Vegas say they arrested a naked man who stole a beer and then hijacked a bus several miles northeast of the famed gambling Strip.
A police spokesperson says the man fled from a convenience store when an officer arrived to investigate a report of a shoplifter Tuesday.
The man allegedly punched in a back window of a Citizens Area Transit bus, climbed aboard, forced the driver off, drove the bus about 182 metres and then jumped off the moving vehicle.
A police officer climbed aboard the bus and stopped the vehicle. It was not known if there were passengers aboard the bus at the time of the incident.
Police say the man was arrested on felony charges - and given clothes and a mental evaluation.
