Naked Man Runs Through Dunkin' Donuts

A naked man who hid his face with a white shirt ran through a Dunkin' Donuts shop in Manatee County on Monday night.

A surveillance video showed that the man did have shoes and socks on — but nothing else — when he entered the doughnut shop, at 612 10th St. E., Palmetto, the Bradenton Herald reported.

The streaker did not stop and order a doughnut or try to linger in the store. He has not yet been identified, authorities said.
