Woman accused of walking naked in Belmont, again

 A homeless woman was arrested for allegedly running down the street in the nude.

The 51-year-old naked woman was spotted by another woman in Belmont, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

“Crystal Johnson was running around the 100 block of Franklin Street naked, screaming and cursing,” Belmont Police officer F.C. Bollinger Jr. wrote in the report.

Johnson, listed as a homeless Belmont woman on the arrest warrant, was charged with indecent exposure and held at Gaston County Jail under a $2,500 secured bond.

This makes the second time in four months that Johnson has been charged with the same offense. In May a man reported seeing the naked woman walking behind McLean Funeral Directors on Central Avenue in Belmont.

Belmont Police Cpl. M.R. Stroupe found the woman in a van behind the home where she’d been seen in the buff.

“Crystal Johnson admitted she had taken her clothes off because she was hot,” Stroupe wrote in the affidavit.
