Naked Man Steals SC Ambulance, Crashes into Pole

It was a wild day in one South Carolina community after a naked man was accused of stealing an ambulance and crashing it into a pole.

WSPA reports it happened Wednesday morning in Greer when officers were called on a report of a suspicious man banging on a home’s front door.

Police said officers found the man under the home and he appeared to be under the influence of drugs. Greenville County EMS was called in to treat the man.

Police said officers left the scene and the man started to hit and kick one of the EMS providers. The man was then able to get into the driver’s seat of the ambulance and drive away.

Officers spotted the ambulance driving through a field before it crossed a road and struck a utility pole. Police were then able to take Jamario Marquis Bowens into custody.

The 35-year-old is facing several charges, including carjacking, grand larceny, assault and battery and resisting arrest.

Bowens was taken to the hospital after the crash.
