Anaheim Police Department

When we say a suspect has “nothing to hide,” this isn’t exactly what we mean.

Yesterday, officers responded to reports of a resident smashing vehicle windows at an apartment complex in West Anaheim. The suspect fled into his apartment and barricaded himself inside, prompting a response from detectives and our Tactical Response Group.

After several hours of refusing to surrender, tear gas was introduced, which was a powerful motivator.
The suspect eventually exited the apartment and was safely taken into custody.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, he exited wearing absolutely nothing. Why he chose to leave his own apartment without clothes remains unclear, but we’re fairly confident there were other options available.

The suspect was arrested and now faces multiple criminal charges.
