Police arrested a 22-year-old man Sunday after several people reported that he was naked and chasing seagulls on a popular beach in northern Michigan, according to multiple reports.
The Ann Arbor resident, whose name was not released pending his arraignment, was spotted around 3 p.m. Sunday at Petoskey State Park, the Petoskey Review-News reported.
In a news release obtained by the newspaper, state troopers said witnesses reported that the nude man chased seagulls on the public beach before running to a parking lot and “dove” into it as though he were diving into water.
Troopers said the man might have taken LSD before authorities were called.
The man screamed at and threatened a trooper who tried to arrest him, WWTV reported, but he eventually calmed down and authorities apprehended him. Officials took him to a hospital for treatment of the injuries he suffered when he jumped into the parking lot, according to WWTV.
Troopers arrested the man on multiple charges, including indecent exposure and obscene conduct. Authorities said he might face additional charges, pending the results of a blood analysis, according to the News-Review.
