A former Baylor University track athlete remains free on bond after he allegedly ran naked through campus in early May, according to police reports.

Alex Reece, 22, was arrested by Waco police May 5 after officers responded to a report of a man seen running naked in the area of University Parks Drive and La Salle Avenue at about 11 a.m., Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said. Reece, identified by police as a Baylor student, was carrying a pair of purple socks in his hand in the 100 block of La Salle Avenue.

“Officers believed he may have been on some type of substance,” Swanton said. “The officer got him in the car to limit the exposure to other people. He was shouting about Jesus when he was placed into the car, where he was banging on the interior of the cage, hitting on the window and he bowed out the door frame.”

Officers took Reece to Providence Health Center for medical evaluation before he was taken to McLennan County Jail on charges of criminal mischief for damaging the police car and disorderly conduct for exposing himself, police reported.

Reece told officers he had smoked marijuana before his run, Swanton said.
