Criminal Socks It To Walmart
By Wyatt Earp | February 17, 2012
Meet Verdon Taylor. Verdon likes the sun on his face and the breeze through his junk, but he needs his socks.
I have to admit, when I saw this story I thought for sure this happened in Philly. This brand of dumb is usually confined to the city limits.
A 300-pound man was arrested after he was seen walking around an Exton, Pa., Walmart wearing nothing but socks. Employees at Walmart called police at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, saying that there was a naked man walking around the store.
When police arrived they found 32-year-old Verdon Lamont Taylor in the store wearing only socks. When Taylor would not comply with officers, the 6-feet, 4-inch tall, 300-pound man was tasered and taken into custody. Taylor proceeded to spit in an officer’s face. Upon viewing surveillance video, police learned that Taylor walked into the store completely naked and walked straight to the customer service counter, stole a pair of socks there, and put them on his feet.
Wouldn’t he have been better served to walk to the pants aisle first?

“Wouldn’t he have been better served to walk to the pants aisle first?”
What, and get his feet dirty?!?
Oh, wait, I see what you mean! Nevermind.
What I want to know is how far did he have to walk naked to the store? Nevermind, it would have been classified as a bigfoot sighting anyways.
The poor guy, now he’ll forever be known as “socks”. lol
The ultimate WalMartian………..
Their stores are magnets for nutters……..
This may be the most excitement West Whiteland has ever seen.
I had to laugh when the Daily Local – not known as a particularly informative newspaper! – published the security cam photos of this dude.
uhhhhhh . . . thanks?
I took one of the 911 calls for this. It was hard to ask with a straight face “does he have a “weapon” ? One of my partners said “At least he didn’t steal three socks”
wow. just.. yeah. wow.
Mental illness is just that, an illness. I feel sorry for the man!
Real – The other customers didn’t need to see his “junk mail.”
Jon – Hairy backs drive the woman wild!
DL – Better than “stubby.”
LDIV – But their prices are so low!!!
Orchid – Where is that infamous blue dot when you need it?
911 – *shudder*
Smite – Here’s your sign . . .
Danny – I feel sorry for the customers that witnessed his shopping trip.
Sadly….I used to shop at the Exton Wal Mart. And Mr. Taylor there is well known in the West Chester bar community.
I am not surprised at all by this.
Dr. Evil – I knew it! He’s a drinking buddy, isn’t he?
Verdon was frustrated with Walmart’s rejection of his sock strap idea but couldn’t find over the calf socks so he went to customer service
