[Judah Maccabee]

MOORHEAD, Minn. - Police arrested a man who was naked from the waist down after he allegedly assaulted a clerk in a grocery store.

Ryan Christian Parker, 34, was charged with fifth-degree assault, disorderly conduct, obstructing the legal process and indecent exposure.

Police alleged that Parker assaulted a SunMart clerk and two customers who came to the aid of the clerk shortly before noon Saturday. He fled on foot, and got into a vehicle driven by his mother a few blocks away.

Parker resisted as officers removed him from the vehicle, police said. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital for injuries to his hands.

If convicted, he can no loner own a hand gun. Pants are still optional.
