Breach of peace. Police arrested a 30-year-old man from Hudson after he allegedly flashed his nude posterior at passing traffic. 

A police officer had noticed the man making “several erratic body movements,” according to a police report.

After the officer saw the man flash passing cars, the officer made a U-turn to approach the man, who fled into  nearby woods. 

Police ordered him to come out, but he did not.

The man was seen about 40 minutes later leaving the wooded area. He approached someone who was mowing grass along the highway, and police caught him.

The man denied that he had exposed his buttocks to traffic, saying that he had dropped a pen, then bent over to pick it up, according to the report. 

He said he went into the woods to urinate, not to evade police, and said, “I didn’t see I did anything wrong.”

He was taken to jail.

Disorderly conduct. Police officers were flagged down at a big box store after a 41-year-old Daytona Beach man was seen throwing candy bars, screaming and trying to spit on customers.

Police soon discovered that the man had an open warrant out of Martin County and detained him. 

The store asked to trespass the man, who was taken to jail.
