A 46-year-old man from Rapid City was taken in for a mental health evaluation after Michigan State Police said he was naked and dancing with a handgun on southbound US-131.

MPS said in a Wednesday press release that witnesses told them the man was naked, dancing, doing pushups and displaying a 9mm handgun on southbound US-131 near mile marker 187 in Wexford County. 

The man eventually manually emptied the ammunition from the handgun, according to the witnesses who called 911.

An MPS sergeant and a Wexford sheriff’s deputy responded to the calls and placed the subject into protective custody. He was transported by a Mobile Medical Response ambulance to Munson Hospital Cadillac for a mental health evaluation, according to the release.

It was determined the man possessed a valid Michigan CPL.
