A 29-year-old man who was using bath salts was arrested and charged after he was found naked and screaming over the weekend in a flower bed in Crystal City, police said.
The incident began shortly after midnight Sunday near the intersection of Crystal Drive and 18th Street South when police received a call.
When they arrived, they found a man — later identified as Hector Anaya Segura of Mexico — standing in a flower bed, waving his arms in the air and “screaming incoherently,” according to Dustin Sternbeck, a spokesman with the Arlington County police department.
Segura’s clothes were scattered in the roadway.
Police said a naked Segura then ran to a police cruiser and began slamming his hands on the hood.

A police officer used a Taser on him, causing him to fall down. Sternbeck said Segura did not comply with officers’ commands and tried to stand up. A Taser was again used on him before officers handcuffed him.
Segura was taken to an area hospital, police said. A field test kit turned positive for use of drugs, and police said they found an e-cigarette on Segura which they believe he was using to smoke bath salts.
Segura was charged with disorderly conduct and possession of bath salts. He told authorities he was attending a meeting in the area — the 2015 International Drug Policy Reform Conference.
