Florida police tasered a naked man on shrooms who was walking his dog

By Brian Abrams

Not cool, Maitland cops.

Just the other day, Robin Campbell was minding his own business while walking his dog. Naked. And on ‘shrooms.
But that’s not the point. He wasn’t bothering anybody until officers approached the 20-year-old and asked the whereabouts of his missing wardrobe. Campbell’s response: “This is God’s house.”

In Maitland, Orange County, that apparently gets you a tasering. The police report, according to WFTV Orlando, says Campbell threatened the lives of the officers (obv, what else are you gonna say when strangers in uniform attack you?) and that he was charged with battery, resisting arrest and exposing his body.

The report doesn’t appear to be available at the Maitland Police’s website, but, if any of you want to play criminal lawyer for the day and pick up the phone, requesting a copy of the report shouldn’t be an issue. Curious what exactly happened here. Campbell’s common sense aside (always wear a cup when walking your dog — shrooming not so much), these charges sound kinda wack. Then again, it’s Florida.

who doesn't like walking their dog in the nude after scarfing down shrooms?

Gotta love his response to the cops:

“This is God’s house.”
