Police arrested a New Jersey man and charged him with being under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance Tuesday evening after he was spotted riding a tricycle through an apartment complex in the nude.

Jermaine Jones was found under a stairwell while he “was chewing on glass and cigarette tobacco.” According to the Lakewood police, he “admitted to ingesting cocaine.”

The 31-year-old was taken to Kimball Medical Center and treated for minor cuts to his mouth that likely occurred when he was chewing on the aforementioned glass.

Sgt. Greg Staffordsmith told the Star Ledger the tricycle was a kid’s model.

In addition to the cocaine offense, Jones was charged with disorderly persons offenses for being naked in public.

The Smoking Gun reports that Jones was recently released from prison after serving over two years for a robbery conviction.
