A naked man hiding in a tanning bed was arrested after allegedly tearing around a Florida Planet Fitness, starting a fire, and making holes in the ceiling after refusing to leave at closing time. The Lee County Sheriff’s Department said its deputies responded to reports of a naked man running riot at the Venice gym before midnight on Saturday night, with officers searching around gym equipment, smoke visible in the air in bodycam footage, before finally locating him. Henrry Antunez-Avarado, 25, had allegedly exposed himself as staff closed the gym up for the evening, then began a bizarre naked spree that included “attempting to start a fire in the bathroom,” according to sheriff’s deputies, along with knocking down roof panels after climbing up into the ceiling. A K-9 was deployed in the hunt and was seen in a video posted by the sheriff’s department excitedly directing officers to a closed door, behind which the suspect was shut inside the tanning bed. Later on in the clip, as the suspect is taken out of the squad car, an officer can be heard saying: “Aww, you left cheek marks.” Antunez-Avarado was charged with indecent exposure and arson, along with criminal mischief and providing false information to law enforcement.
