Cops: "Naked" Thief Walks Into Residence, Steals Car On His Way Out

A naked man walked into a Norwyck Way home in Towamencin Township early Saturday morning, according to police.

Tyler Preston Dunham, 19, turned around and left when the family dog started barking at him, according to police.

But instead of leaving, Dunham hopped into the family’s white 2013 Honda Fit, which was running and unlocked in the driveway, police said.

Police said they pursued the car and found it crashed into a tree in Firehouse Park on Bustard Road. Dunham was still naked and was incoherent when officers first approached him.

“The male appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance to the degree his judgment and decision making were severely impaired,” Chief Tim Dickinson said.

At one point the alleged naked thief seemed to give in, and told officers to just shoot him, police said.

But when more officers arrived, Dunham shut the windows and revved the engine in an attempt to escape, police said.

Police stated that they had to break through the windows to arrest Dunham. However, he exited the vehicle and moved toward them, his fists clenched in “an aggressive manner,” Dickinson said.

Officers had to use a Taser to subdue Dunham, police said.

Police said that a pair of underwear believed to be Dunham’s was found near the Norwyk Way property’s mailbox.

Dunham will be charged with burglary, criminal trespass-enter structure, unauthorized use of motor vehicle, receiving stolen property, robbery of motor vehicle, resisting arrest, DUI, and public drunkenness.
