Nebraska State Patrol troopers corralled a 30-year-old naked man running around on Interstate 80 near Waverly Monday afternoon after they say he caused more than $1,500 damage to an out-of-state traveler’s vehicle.

Around 4:20 p.m., troopers received a report of a naked man walking on and off the interstate’s eastbound lanes near mile marker 413 east of Waverly, according to state patrol Sgt. Timothy Salmen.

Moments later a large van slowed to see if the man was OK and the man hit the vehicle several times, denting the vehicle body in a couple of places and breaking glass in the windows.

That vehicle pulled off the interstate into a weigh station area.

Troopers arrived and arrested Samson Wilcinot of Lincoln.

Salmen said Wilcinot had parked his vehicle along the interstate shoulder and thrown his keys.

Waverly Fire and Rescue took him to Bryan West Campus as a precaution.

“It’s not normal that a man is running around the interstate naked,” said Salmen, adding that troopers suspect he had abused a drug or other chemical substance before stripping.
