Wife blames medications for her husband's naked stroll through Walmart

LACONIA — The man who walked naked through the Gilford Walmart was experiencing a severe reaction to prescription medications that he had just started taking, according to his wife.

The man was placed in protective custody by authorities Thursday after he strolled unclothed into the store. Once in custody, he was taken by Gilford Fire Department ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital.

“He doesn’t remember doing this. He didn’t come around until after he was put into the ambulance,” said the man’s wife, who called The Laconia Daily Sun and agreed to answer a reporter’s questions Monday on condition of anonymity for her and her husband.

She said her husband has been on prescription medications for a couple of different issues. He had taken two medications, just prescribed for the first time last Thursday morning, with no immediate ill effects, she said.
