A man who was found walking on a Craig County mountain with no shoes or coat early today told police that he was robbed by two men in Roanoke and later dropped off on Potts Mountain.

Eric Emanual Brown, 28, of the 1600 block of Hanover Avenue, was found by a highway worker about 5:25 a.m. today, Roanoke police said.
