A naked, bloody, and slippery burglary suspect in Florida was arrested after breaking into two occupied homes, covering himself in grease and oil, and hopping into a swimming pool overnight.
The series of incidents happened in DeBary where the man was arrested after jumping onto a trampoline, and it took multiple deputies to secure him.
Deputies responded to a report of a burglary in progress at a home on Highbanks Road in DeBary around 2 a.m. Friday.
The suspect, eventually identified as 34-year-old Blake Tokman, had smashed out the windows of one house to make entry, then left and broke into another home.

The first responding deputy spotted Tokman naked in the backyard of the second house. Tokman took off running, jumped in the pool, then climbed out and leaped onto a trampoline, where he laid flat but resisted the deputy’s attempts to secure him in handcuffs.
Tokman appeared to be under the influence of unknown substances, and his body was covered in wheel bearing grease, peppermint oil, and blood, deputies say.

“It took four deputies to get him into custody, plus three more medical professionals to secure him on a stretcher for evaluation and treatment of injuries he caused himself,” said Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
During the incident, Tokman kicked or struck three deputies, one of whom sustained a laceration to his arm.
Tokman was charged with 2 counts of occupied burglary, 3 counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, 2 counts of criminal mischief, and resisting arrest with violence.
He was transported for further medical evaluation and treatment before he was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail.
