BAY CITY, MI -- A 53-year-old Bay City man is accused of walking around his neighborhood naked, then having a fight with police that involved him crawling into a refrigerator.

About 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25, police responded to a house in the 1400 block of Green Avenue for a report of a nude man outside with a shovel. The woman who called police told them the man was in her backyard and had been hitting her house with the shovel, court records show.

Police saw the man, identified as Scott W. Lange, in the yard. He had cuts on his body, was bleeding from numerous spots, and appeared to be under the influence of a drug, court records show. Lange refused to drop his shovel and attempted to enter his own nearby home, prompting police to stun him with a Taser.

Officers were unable to get the shovel from Lange's hands. Lange then crawled into his house and slammed the door behind him, court records show.

Officers kicked open the door and Lange threw a metal chair and the shovel at them, the shovel hitting one of the officers in the chest and knocking her off her feet, court records show. Lange then crawled into an empty refrigerator and kept tossing whatever items he could find at the officers, court records show.

Lange eventually grabbed two wooden TV tables and used them as shields against officers' Tasers, court records show.

Police eventually wrestled the tables away from Lange and stunned him again, causing him to fall out of the fridge, court records show. While he was on the ground, he attempted to eat shards of broken glass. The officers were able to hoist him up and take him outside, where he was attended by medical personnel and taken to McLaren Bay Region hospital.

He told police he was embarrassed, thought he was dreaming, and didn't know where he was, court records show.

In all, Lange had four Taser barbs removed from him. He also had a shard of glass in his upper left thigh.

Police entered Lange's home and found it in shambles, with everything broken to pieces, blood streaks on the walls, and the sinks clogged and running, court records show.

Neighbors told police Lange had been walking up and down the sidewalk while nude, going onto porches and ringing doorbells, court records show. The woman who called 911 said Lange has been her neighbor for about two years and has always been "the sweetest guy ever," court records show.

Lange was discharged from the hospital at about 12:30 a.m. and police promptly took him to the Bay County Jail.

Lange on Sept. 26 appeared in Bay County District Court for arraignment on three counts of assaulting, resisting, or obstructing police and single counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and indecent exposure. The arraigning judge set his bond at $7,500 cash-surety and scheduled him to appear for a preliminary examination before District Judge Timothy J. Kelly at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
