If there’s one thing we can count on in these uncertain times, it’s Florida Man continuing to outdo himself. And this week in the Sunshine State, authorities say a 34-year-old Volusia County man committed two home invasions and fled from law enforcement—all while completely naked, according to ClickOrlando. The suspect, identified as Blake Tokman, was allegedly covered in a baffling trio of substances when he was finally apprehended: wheel bearing grease, peppermint oil, and blood. Body-camera footage shows Tokman, who was allegedly under the influence of drugs at the time, attempting to escape from police by diving into a pool and then bouncing onto a trampoline, and it took three medics to finally secure him to a stretcher. He is being charged with multiple counts of occupied burglary, battery on a law enforcement officer, criminal mischief, and violently resisting arrest.
