Apparently, the patrons of the Carson Nugget got to see a little more of Tyler Dean Davies than they wanted to.
On Tuesday evening, Carson City Sheriff's deputies received a report of a man running naked down the street.

Another deputy stopped Davies with a Taser inside the casino near the coffee shop.
