Police: Oiled Suspect Attacks Officers
(James Island, SC) - Police in Charleston County say a naked man exposed himself to his 66-year-old neighbor, then later attacked officers with nunchucks.
Police say 49-year-old Rudolph Claude Smith went next door to his neighbor's apartment to borrow some oil for a workout. While he was in the woman's home, police say Smith took off his clothes and asked the woman to "oil him up."
According to a police report, Smith attacked two officers with nunchucks when they came to his home to make an arrest. They also say the oil made it difficult for them to get a good grip on him.
Smith is charged with two counts of assaulting police, first degree burglary and indecent exposure.
During a bond hearing on Wednesday, Smith's family members said he is mentally ill. Smith told the judge that he didn't need to burglarize anyone because he "owns a multi-million dollar corporation unbeknownst to the people of Charleston."
The judge set Smith's bond at $30,000 on the assault and indecent exposure charges. He'll face the burglary charge in a circuit court.
