A 30-year-old Florida man was arrested early Wednesday morning after allegedly harassing employees while completely nude at a Walmart in Lake City, according to police.
Rakime Triondre Johnson stands accused of one count each of exposure of sexual organs and resisting an officer without violence following the bizarre incident, which took place around 2:45 a.m. on October 8th at the store along U.S. Highway 90.
The Lake City Police Department stated that officers were initially called to the scene concerning a “suspicious person acting erratically in the parking lot.” Upon arrival, police learned that a man described as “completely nude” had been “chasing employees” in the lot before fleeing into a nearby wooded area.
Officers located Johnson “on his hands and knees in the wooded area,” according to a press release. Police noted that the subject “appeared agitated and paranoid” and was “largely nonverbal and incoherent” when officers attempted to communicate with him.

Due to concern for his safety, officers contacted paramedics and placed Johnson “in hand restraints for his own protection.” He was then taken out of the woods, transported by emergency medical services personnel to Lake City Medical Center for evaluation.
Initially, Johnson was reportedly “unable to provide identifying information” but later gave his name as “Raheem.” After being medically cleared for transport, a Rapid ID fingerprint scan at the Columbia County Detention Facility revealed his true identity.
Police described Johnson as homeless, and court records show he has applied for indigent status. He is currently scheduled to be arraigned on October 14th.
