A man in Central Florida got himself arrested after police said he exposed himself to drivers getting onto the highway and then attacked deputies with a knife.
Donald Destin, 36, faces charges of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with a deadly weapon, indecent exposure, and illegally carrying a concealed weapon, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Police said a deputy arrived to the on-ramp of the highway where Destin exposed himself and started swinging a knife at her.
Destin ignored the officer’s orders to drop the weapon, and when she shocked him with a Taser he continued waving his knife, according to the Sentinel.
It was not until a second deputy arrived and used a Taser that Destin fell to the ground and officers handcuffed him.
Deputies took Destin to a local hospital to be treated for injuries from his fall. He was then taken to the Orange County Jail on Monday with his bail set at $17,000.
