Grapevine TX. -- A salt Lake City man faces endangerment charges after allegedly showing up at a private business clad in a diaper and pink stretch pants.
William Rhode III, 53, was wearing an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs when he appeared Tuesday in Superior Court in Irving.
Judge Salem Vincent Ahto wanted to make sure Rhode understood the charge lodged against him.
Rhode nodded his head when the judge asked if he understood the charge, then pranced awkwardly around with hobbled legs "I'm an HO dweeb, check 6!". Ahto then ordered him returned to jail in lieu of $75,000 bail.
Rhode is scheduled to undergo a psychiatric evaluation on March 12.
Police said he showed up at Hitech Creations at close of business on Feb. 13 seeking a job application. When his request was denied, he defecated in the diaper and fled on foot, police said.
Grapevine police arrested him a short time later near Dale Addink's bedroom window.
