NEWPORT (CBS 3) ―

State police say a trooper shot a naked Wilmington man who was beating him with his police radio.

The trooper found 35-year-old Fabian Silvestre standing naked on Route 4 around 2:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Police say Silvestre charged the trooper and after a struggle, the trooper used his pepper spray. Unaffected, police say Silvestre took the trooper's radio and beat him with it. Police say the trooper feared for his life and fired two shots, hitting Silvestre in the shoulder, but it did not stop him.

A second trooper arrived and used a stun gun on Silvestre and with the help of a third trooper they were able to subdue Silvestre.

When Silvestre is released from Christiana Hospital, police expect to charge him in this attack and an earlier attack on his wife.

I’m guessing drugs were involved.

“Fabian Silvestre standing naked

Sounds like an assault with a dead weapon.

Having to shoot a naked guy on the side of the road at 3 in the morning is one of the reasons I couldn’t be a cop.

Actually, ridding the world of naked, violent crazies would be one of the few rewards of the job.

Having been in a few locker rooms in my time I kind of feel sorry for the first trooper. Getting your *ss kicked by a naked stoned guy with your own radio will invite some great smart-*ssed comments after a few days, at least by the guys I know...

Was he the father from "Malcolm in the Middle"?

Just asking, the guy has been running around nude lately.

The headline possibilities boggle the mind:

"Naked man beats cop then beats it!"

"Naked nut beats and bolts!"

I’ll bet the cop shot him after the guy got his head in a leg lock, facing towards him. A fate almost as bad as death, unless you are Bawney Fwank.
