Police: Man jumped out of car naked

A Texas man who was driving through Cedartown on the way home prolonged his stop in Polk County last week after police reported he jumped out of his car in the buff at an intersection.

David Jemel Gordon, 49, of a McKinney, Texas, address, remained at the intersection of Canal and South Main streets in Cedartown on Thursday morning, Jan. 26 around 8 a.m., according to Cedartown Police Chief Jamie Newsome, until officers arrived and calmed him down.

“Officers got there and found him standing, in fact, completely naked,” he said. “He’d seemed to be agitated and upset when officers got there, but they calmed him down and took him into custody without incident.”

Gordon was charged with public indecency as a city charge and was later released on a $220 bond.

Newsome said that according to officers on the scene, Gordon had gotten into an altercation with his wife in the car which “caused him according to her at the red light, disrobed in the car and when stopped at the light naked.”
