Man Arrested For Naked Vandalism Spree
A Luzerne County man is behind bars in our area tonight. He reportedly went on a vandalism spree just outside of Lancaster. The bizarre part about the crime: the suspect was completely naked.
Friday night, police arrested Nicholas Hadzick of Freeland. He's accused of causing thousands of dollars in damage in West Lampeter Township.
Investigators say Hadzick targeted the Willow Valley Resort and a near-by 24-hour grocery store. He was apparently drunk, and clearly naked at the time.
It was business as usual at Darrenkamp's Market on Sunday, following a most unusual Friday night. Around 11:30 p.m., employees say Hadzick walked into the store and went on a rampage.
"He did quite a bit of damage to our store. Anything he could throw, he threw," said store manager Jeff Frymyer.
Apparently, the suspect doesn't turn 31 years old until May, which is why people were so surprised to see Hadzick in his birthday suit.
"It was a shock to our team members," said Frymyer.
Frymyer says Hadzick went on a supermarket sweep for about half an hour, though he didn't buy anything. Instead, Hadzick flipped over a pizza oven, broke coolers, scales, and deli equipment. he caused thousands of dollars in damage.
"Thank god no one got seriously hurt," said Frymyer.
Workers and customers subdued the suspect until police arrived.
"They did a great job. They were very professional, they remained calm," said Frymyer.
Hadzick is now behind bars on $200,000 bail. He faces numerous charges, including risking a catastrophe, open lewdness, and public drunkeness.
