Florida Man never disappoints...

Police say a Florida man was arrested last Friday after having sex with a tree and assaulting an officer. WKMG reports 41-year-old Kenneth Crowder faces charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting with violence and assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer. 

The Melbourne Police Department says Crowder was spotted by police running through a neighborhood naked and exclaiming he was god. The man was then observed attempting to have sex with a tree. A responding officer confronted Crowder and attempted to use a Taser on him. WKMG reports Crowder pulled the Taser probes out of his body and attacked the officer. The officer reports Crowder stole the officer's badge and tried to stab the officer with it, other officers then responded and subdued Crowder.

 Authorities report Crowder was on Flakka, a variation of synthetic substances similar to bath salts.

Flakka, which can be injected, snorted, smoked, swallowed or taken with other substances like marijuana, is usually made from the chemical alpha-PVP.

 

 

That's the synthetic version of the stimulant cathinone, the same type of chemical that is used to make bath salts.
