Naked masked man enters sandwich store

Court TV



(Court TV) — If Mathias Kout had intended to rob a Subway sandwich store in Spencer, Iowa, it's unclear how he would have done so in the first place.

Except for a ski mask worn over his face, the 55-year-old man was stark naked. There was no weapon in sight and nothing in which to stash cash or a sandwich.

According to Police Lieutenant Don Bartlett, Kout entered the sandwich store on August 3 at about 11 p.m. A female clerk was the store's only occupant, and Kout allegedly planted himself in front of her counter and made a comment to her, details of which police are not releasing.

"We don't believe he had any intent to rob the store," Bartlett said.

Kout fled when the employee's boyfriend came into the store. The couple contacted police, who arrived just as Kout was fleeing the area in his vehicle. A chase ensued and Kout was captured after he lost control of his car and crashed.

The naked man was taken to a local hospital and treated for injuries he sustained during the accident. Bartlett said Kout made arrangements to surrender after his release from the hospital. Kout was discharged the following day and voluntarily turned himself in to authorities.

Police charged Kout with indecent exposure and several traffic violations including reckless driving, eluding a police officer and disobeying a traffic sign. According to court records, Kout has entered a "not guilty" plea to all charges.
