An erratic naked man with a bomb caused a ruckus at Rooster’s Landing Tuesday, according to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office. Shortly after Noon the nude man was running up and down the Balls Ferry Boat Ramp yelling at nobody in particular. He was then rolling around the parking lot yelling and moaning. A Fish and Wildlife Warden got there and calmed the man down until deputies arrived. They evaluated him as possibly in need of mental health assistance and an ambulance was called. The man was still not communicating so deputies looked in his pickup truck to try and find identification. What they found, in plain view on the seat, was what appeared to be a pipe bomb with a fuse sticking out the end. The bomb squad was able to dismantle the item for inspection to determine if it was an actual working bomb. The naked man’s identity is not being released because of his mental health status.
