BEAUFORT, S.C. — A South Carolina man is cleared of a murder charge after his naked ride in a stolen fire truck killed a pedestrian.
Multiple media outlets reported that Circuit Court Judge Carmen Mullen found Kalvin Hunt not guilty by reason of insanity on Thursday.
The 28-year-old former Marine fled naked from the Naval Hospital in Beaufort in 2012, stole a Port Royal fire truck that was responding to a medical call at a nearby apartment complex, then struck and killed Justin Nicholas Miller before crashing into woods.
Hunt was sent for treatment to a secure care facility run by the South Carolina mental health department. The judge said a new hearing and judicial decision would be held if Hunt is ever recommended for release.
