Only in Florida: Flakka Flakka Flakka

In my weekly column Only in Florida, I'll be taking you down to the Sunshine State for the latest and greatest sex stories that can only be found in the craziest state in the union.

Bath salts are so 2011. The new street drug sweeping our nation's black sheep of a state is Flakka, a hybrid drug that produces a similar effect to the Somalian khat plant—that thing that the hijackers in Captain Phillips were chewing on. 35 year old Fort Lauderdale resident Matthew Kenney decided to give it a spin the other day, and of course soon found himself naked on the streets of Broward County, fleeing from imaginary pursuers that wanted him dead.

Video of Kenney's run through the neighborhood shows him weaving around police cruisers.

"It appeared to me that he was playing with them," Jesse Grace, who shot the footage, told WSVN. "Like he was trying to get them to follow him."

Once they caught Kenney, officers said that the man told them he was afraid he was being pursued by people who had stolen his clothes. He told officers that he was trying to get hit by a car, "because if I got hit by a car they would stop chasing me."

He told police that he would "rather die than be caught" by his shadowy pursuers, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

Cops took Kenney to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Kenney, who has been arrested multiple times since December on possession of a controlled substance charges, later told police that he'd smoked flakka right before his streaking episode.

At least the cops got to him before the imaginary pursuers did. Lord knows what would have happened if they got their hands on him.
