Naked Teen With Giant Poodle Assaults Michigan Woman

A 14-year-old boy in Saginaw, Michboy faces assault and strong arm robbery charges for assaulting a woman and stealing her cell phone with a giant poodle -- while not wearing any clothes.

According to Oceana County Sheriff department Department's Lt. Craig Mast, the boy walked away from the Alpha House juvenile facility without any clothing.

"The young naked man approached her with this poodle, and she immediately realized something peculiar," says Mast.

But even though the woman was doing spring yard work, and saw the boy with the giant white poodle and no clothing, she still asked if she could help.

The boy told her that he had been kicked out of his Saginaw home so the woman called 9-1-1 on her cell phone, and as she was providing information to dispatchers, the boy shoved her in the upper chest and stole the phone.

As he fled, the woman went to a neighbors and again called 9-1-1. Mast said a deputy responded to the complaint, and as they were able to track the boy in the area and take him into protective custody.

The boy has since been taken to a secured juvenile facility in Grand Rapids and will remain for an unspecified period. Mast added, the sheriff's department had a prior incident of the boy walking away from the Alpha House behavioral treatment facility but it wasn't clear where he got the poodle.
