A Groton man with a long record of motor vehicle offenses was taken into police custody last Thursday after disrobing and throwing himself on top of passing motor vehicles on a Vermont-New Hampshire bridge, the Caledonian-Record reports.
New Hampshire police say Brandon Lackie, 36, was wearing nothing but his socks when he threw himself on top of cars and trucks on the bridge over the Connecticut River connecting Barnet, VT and Monroe, NH Thursday morning, October 3. He reportedly had left his vehicle and clothing on the Vermont side.
Vermont state troopers at the scene say Lackie apparently was having a psychotic incident. He was taken away by ambulance, the Record reports.
This wasn’t VSP’s first encounter with Lackie. Troopers arrested him on Sept. 7 after he allegedly committed multiple violations including being a fugitive from justice.
Authorities reported that on Sept. 2 at around 8:43 p.m., they were called to a residence in Groton for a dispute. Police say Lackie had violated a court-issued abuse prevention order, breached conditions of his release, and committed unlawful mischief by damaging a vehicle belonging to Nathaniel Ricker, 50, of Topsham.
During the September incident, Lackie was found to have an outstanding extraditable arrest warrant from New Hampshire, where he is charged with operating a motor vehicle as a habitual offender, a Class B Felony.
The Caledonian-Record story of Thursday’s incident included this account by F-250 pickup truck driver Jon Blake:
“That naked man just started charging my truck across the center lane, and he ran up to my truck and he was shouting,” he said.
Blake reacted by locking his vehicle’s doors, but instead of reaching for the door handle, the man jumped on the hood of Blake’s truck.
“His head was probably about the middle of the hood at the base of the windshield,” said Blake.
The man quickly slid off, but then jumped up on the running board of the truck and grabbed the side mirror. Blake then accelerated.
“I just put my foot onto the gas pedal, and I couldn’t tell you if he fell off or slid off or jumped off as I drove away,” Blake said.

What’s all the fuss? He had the decency to keep his socks on, right? So he wasn’t really “naked.” People are so uptight. What’s really frightening is that, before his romp, he evidently had been driving.
Lucky Lackie could of had tire tracks across his face. Just another day at the Vermont zoo and it is not getting any better. Now what would have happened to the driver if he had run over this nutcase?????
nothing, if I was on the jury…
What’s the problem, in Burlington as long as you leave your house nude you can walk the street ” Bollicky Bare-A, ” it is just part of being in the cesspool known as Burlington………….. Good thing winter coming !!
As far as Mr.Lackie, he’s lucky he wasn’t run over, but he did have socks on I assume for safety reasons………………………….. Wake up Vermont.
OH my… who’s afraid of a naked man jumping on cars? I’d be laughing my a** off if this were something I was present for: locked doors yes…but accelerating while the guy is on board the car??? The driver proud of that response doesn’t belong here… the other naked guy…probably does… maybe its his form of protest?
We need a little levity people… I mean…think for a minute what musta’ been going on in the naked guy’s mind… “I gotta’ stop all thos gas burning guzzlers from crossing over into my pristine state,” or ” it moves…gotta’ stop it,” or “that’s the biggest wooly bear I’ve seen…gotta’ stop it from coming into VT!”
Whatd’ya think? or do you…

There's a difference between levity and stupidity. If you're stupid enough to try to laugh it off then I wish you the best in defending yourself if the phsyco you think is funny decides to harm you.

For some reason part of my writing was missing from the previous comment.
So, long story short…if I was the driver and some naked, screaming, whack-job jumps on my car you can bet your bottom dollar I’d be slamming my foot on the accelerator too!
Today we regard it as mental illness thanks to Freud and a few others. Stories of such people in 30 A.D. Israel indicated demonic oppression. Given the state of the world I’m inclined to assume the latter. Despite all of our “evolution” and medical advances we seem to be generating more mental illness than ever, which makes no sense. However the increase in demonic activity seems to be coinciding with a number of other Biblical warnings about the end times. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see where this ship is headed.
That’s Methed up. But seriously,if all the nut jobs and ne’er do wells were locked up here they belong the cops would have a pretty slow week
I loved a couple of my old pick up trucks so much, I was tempted to get naked and randy, with them, but surely wouldn’t do it in public.
I was raised not to kiss and tell.
Also didn’t want to get tore up by the jagged rusty edges that could salt the wound as soon as it was inflicted.
