Naked man jumps into Ridgefielder's truck, leaps out of moving vehicle

On Sunday, July 7 at about 9:30 am, Wilton Police report that they responded to an incident on the Ridgefield/Wilton Line regarding a naked white male that had jumped out of the back of a pickup truck while it was moving.

The incident started in Ridgefield when Wilson Puente of Ridgefield was traveling south on Danbury Rd by the Days Inn and saw what he thought was a dead deer on the side of the road. Puente slowed down to look at the object next to the road when Puente's stated it was actually a naked white male laying on the ground, police say.

According to Wilton Police, the naked white male, identified as John Rodas of NY, jumped up and leaped into the bed of Puente's pickup truck. Puente's continued to drive South on Danbury Rd and called 911. While still traveling South on Danbury Rd in the area of 1039 Danbury Rd. Wilton, Rodas jumped out of the back of the pickup truck while it was still moving and landed on the side of the road.
Rodas was transported to Danbury Hospital with life-threatening injuries and Puente's was released from the scene without charges.

The incident is still under investigation by the Wilton Police Department.
