Stictly speaking, this man was not "naked," he was "nekkid."

Guns Save Lives reports: "17 Year Old Alabama Boy Chases Naked Intruder Away With Dad’s Gun."
Once inside, the man stripped naked before being discovered by the teens. The 17 year old grabbed his dad’s gun and used it to chase the naked man out of the home at gunpoint. The teen’s called police who arrested Johnson a short while later when he returned to the home again. It seems there is a pretty good chance Johnson was inebriated in some way and police say he may have been trying to get to his mother’s home, who lives nearby. No word on why he was naked just yet.
Now I don't want to quibble, but this man was not, stictly speaking, "naked." He was "nekkid." As I learned from Lewis Grizzard shortly after I moved to Alabama in 1985, "naked" in the South means that you have no clothes. "Nekkid" means that you have no clothes AND ARE UP TO SOMETHING. This man was certainly nekkid rather than merely naked.
Here's the WAFF report.

Maybe he was practicing for auditioning for the "Naked and Afraid" survivalist show.

May I be so audacious as to suggest that he was planning on homosexual rape?

...or hetrosexual, depending on the sex of the 15 year old. That was my first thought, based on the excerpt here. But after reading the article, it seems more like he was drunk and lost, and probably thought he'd gone into his mommy's house and undressed for bath and/or bed.

Oops, WAFF says both teens were boys.
The article I read yesterday didn't mention the sex of the 15 year old.

He was naked. Naked means you aint got no clothes on. Nekkid means you aint got no clothes on and you is up to somethin. Louis Grizzard
