The man, identified as 53-year-old Scott Alexander Stephens, has been charged with disorderly conduct. If convicted (kết tội, kết án), he could potentially be on the hook (chịu trách nhiệm) for a significant amount of money. Such Class C misdemeanors, per the Texas penal code (bộ luật hình sự), are punishable by a fine of up to $500.

The victim (nạn nhân) called the Montgomery County sheriff's office on Friday evening to report that a naked man was chasing her on Lone Star Hiking Trail's Trailhead No. 3 in Sam Houston.

When deputies arrived to take the woman's statement, she told a patrol sergeant (trung úy cảnh sát) that she had seen the man emerge from a nearby stand of trees and begin to walk in her direction. The man did appear to have an article of clothing draped over his forearm, she said, but she didn't stick around long enough to identify it. Instead, she took off running, believing that the man was chasing her, though she admitted to the sergeant that she did not look back to confirm her suspicions (hoài nghi).

While deputies were speaking with the woman, a shirtless man exited the trail head. When detained and questioned, he admitted that he had stripped naked at one point to obey the call of nature (theo tiếng gọi của thiên nhiên). However, he said, he had not seen anyone else in the forest.
