Nude Man Arrested Walking On The Highway In Dover
Troop A
DOVER, N.H. – A Somersworth man was arrested after fleeing
the scene of a crash, naked, and disrupting highway traffic.
At 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, March 9, 2025, the New Hampshire
State Police Communications Unit received several reports of a man causing an
interruption to traffic on Route 16 in Dover. Multiple passing drivers reported
that the man was naked and running or walking within the travel lanes of the
highway.
State Troopers assigned to the Troop A barracks responded to
the area and quickly located the naked man. With the assistance of officers
from the Dover Police Department, Troopers were able to take the man into
custody and identified him as Shawn P. Weiner Sr., 35, of Somersworth. Weiner
was transported to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries suffered in
the crash.
The preliminary investigation determined Weiner had been
involved in a crash on Varney Road in Dover and left the scene of the crash on
foot. Additional information revealed the vehicle involved in the crash had
been reported stolen in Somersworth shortly before the crash. It was further
determined that, while fleeing the scene of the crash, Weiner discarded his
clothing on the shoulder of the highway before crossing all lanes of
travel.
As a result of the investigation, the New Hampshire State
Police charged Weiner with indecent exposure and lewdness, reckless conduct,
two counts of disorderly conduct, and littering. In connection with these
charges, Weiner was issued a summons to appear in Dover District Court on May
13, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.
In addition to charges filed by the New Hampshire State
Police, the Dover Police Department investigated the crash that preceded the
incident on the highway, filed separate charges, and retained custody of
Weiner. Additionally, the reported theft of the vehicle involved in the crash
remains under investigation by the Somersworth Police Department.
Troopers were assisted at the scene and during the
subsequent investigation by members of the Dover Police Department, the
Somersworth Police Department, and Dover Fire & Rescue.
