A naked man who assaulted two women in the Senior Citizens area of the County Complex before fleeing on foot last week will soon be making a court appearance.
35 year old David Alan Stroud of 511 South College Street has been charged by Smithville Police with aggravated trespassing, assault, indecent exposure, and evading arrest. He is under a $20,500 bond and his court date in January 17. The incident occurred on Thursday, December 27.
According to Police, Stroud was found in the DeKalb County Complex Senior Citizens area in a room. When confronted Stroud assaulted the cleaning lady and senior director and fled outside. Stroud was located a short time later at a Sober Living Halfway House in Smithville at 511 South College Street in the front yard and he fled inside on foot after being confronted by police. Stroud was found and arrested in a back bedroom of the house. Further investigation of the county complex surveillance system revealed Stroud was walking through the public hallways completely naked.
The two women were apparently not seriously injured from the assaults
