A license plate reader tipped law enforcement off to Wright and a short time later, they were alerted to a naked man near a gas station.
Footage captured from a helicopter shows Wright being spotted as police officers get on the scene.
Someone in the helicopter could be heard solemnly stating: 'He is naked, yelling at people in the parking lot. Very animated'.
As the official describes, Wright then starts to walk away from the fueling station into traffic and starts yelling at people.
Wright then comes back to the gas station and starts to do push-ups, for some reason.
