A naked Montgomery County man walked into a stranger's house on Saturday, stole his car, crashed it into a tree and told the cops to shoot him before he was tased into submission, police said.

Tyler Preston Dunham, 19, of Dresher, remained in jail Monday, unable to post $100,000 bail. He is facing charges that include stealing a motor vehicle, driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest.

The incident occurred in Towamencin shortly after 4 a.m. Dunham walked into the house of a man who was getting ready for work and then stole his Honda Fit, which was unlocked and running in the driveway, police said.

The man called police, and they eventually found the Fit crashed into a nearby tree. Sitting inside the car, Dunham refused to exit and told one cop to shoot him, police said. Dunham allegedly revved the car's engine, prompting to police to break a window to get hold of him.

Dunham eventually got out of the car, only to allegedly clench his fists and aggressively walk towards the police. That's when he was tased and taken into custody, police said.
