A mostly naked Port Orange driver and his female passenger were arrested June 21 after the man drove through an intersection, hitting multiple vehicles and fleeing the scene, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

The crashes occurred at the intersection of East State Road 100 and South Old Kings Road in Palm Coast.

A Florida Fish and Wildlife officer saw the crashes and pursued the suspects’ SUV south on Old Kings Road, according to a press release from the FCSO. 

The SUV pulled into Old Kings Elementary School and drove around the track before continuing down Old Kings Road to the Flagler County Landfill and then into a wooded area behind the landfill and Interstate 95, where FCSO deputies formed a perimeter.

The SUV got stuck against a concrete barrier. 

When deputies pulled the driver out of the vehicle, he was nude except for a “small covering wrapped around his waist and socks,” the press release said. 

Both the driver and the passenger were charged with trespassing on school grounds and several drug possession charges. 

The driver was also charged with fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of a crash and resisting an officer.
