> One word — bizarre: A man standing in front of a paint store in Lilburn pulled his pants down and told police to "come and get it.” But that was tame compared the rest of his bizarre behavior. Before police arrived, the man, an employee at the store, made strong sexual advances to another male employee, who put him in a headlock and sent him outside. Once outside, the man took off his clothes, pushed certain body parts against the store window, and made pelvic thrusting gestures. When police arrived, he punched and kicked one of the officers before being tasered — twice.
