A
naked man went on a rampage Saturday, biting a chunk out of a man’s stomach after leaping from a roof onto a truck on Palmetto Avenue, according to the St. Augustine Police Department.
After it took several officers to subdue him, 22-year-old
Jeremiah Aaron Haughee of North Central Avenue in Flagler Beach was booked into the St. Johns County Jail on five counts of battery, according to jail records.

Police were called to the scene about 4:30 a.m. to find a naked man being restrained by two men outside their home on Palmetto Avenue, according to the arrest report. The men said they were asleep when they
heard someone destroying their lawn furniture, then climbing on their roof before leaping onto a truck and denting its hood. When the men came out of their house to see what was happening, Haughee
ran in and tackled them. He urinated on the floor before biting one of them in the stomach as they held him for police, according to the report.
It took
five officers with two sets of handcuffs, leg shackles, a spit-prevention hood and Taser strikes to control Haughee, who fought efforts to be put in a patrol car even after he was handcuffed, according to police. Three officers were kicked, hit or bitten during the arrest, treated for minor injuries at Flagler Hospital. Haughee was taken to the same hospital and anesthetized to calm him down, then jailed.
