The incident reports read like the hazy figments of a fevered nightmare come to life — often with a dose of streaking nudity.
There was the man who shed his clothing and ran through a choked Fort Lauderdale intersection while dodging vehicles, police and an unknown number of imaginary attackers, an April incident that was caught on camera.
There was another naked man who, days later, tried to have sex with a tree and would later tell police he was the mythical god Thor, according to the Miami Herald. His proclamation was made in a fit of maniacal rage, after he ripped stun-gun probes from his body and tried to stab the officer with his own badge.
And there were two other men who separately tried to break into the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. Both thought people were chasing them, and one ended up impaled on a fence, according to NBC affiliate WFLA.
Authorities have linked all of the bizarre incidents to flakka, a powerful new synthetic drug that has officials alarmed in Florida, where the drug is on the rise.
In Broward County alone, there were more than 300 cases of flakka recorded by the sheriff’s office crime lab during the first three months of 2015, according to county figures. In 2014, there were about 200 cases total. The drug, a spokesman said, is now “wreaking havoc throughout Broward County.”
“Cocaine was king, until this year,” Broward County Sheriff’s Detective William Schwartz told Reuters.
Flakka, according to the county’s human services department, “is a potent, highly addictive stimulant drug. In a small amount the drug provides euphoria, stimulation, and hallucinations. However, just a little bit more can trigger heart problems, agitation, aggressiveness, psychosis, paranoia and excited delirium.”
The drug — a more potent form of what was previously known as bath salts — gets its name from “la flaca,” Spanish slang for a beautiful woman, according to CNN. It is known elsewhere in the country as “gravel” and, according to Reuters, has surfaced in Ohio, Chicago and Houston.
