Man Who Got Naked and Fled Police in Arlington Took Ecstasy, Lawyer Says

A man who got naked and crashed into several cars while fleeing police during a pub crawl in Arlington, Va., was on the drug Ecstasy, his lawyer says.

NBC-Washington reports:

Charles Mack, 22, was arrested and charged with seven counts, including indecent exposure.

News4 Northern Virginia Bureau reporter David Culver reported Mack’s attorney told the judge his client took Ecstasy before getting naked and running from police. He was granted $7,500 bond.

Mack is accused of stripping down inside Goody’s, a pizza place in the Clarendon neighborhood, during the All American Bar Crawl. When police approached, Mack allegedly jumped into a car and sped off.

Police said he drove down Wilson Boulevard in the wrong direction and hit several parked cars. He then got out of the car and attempted to flee on foot before officers caught him.

Mack was charged with indecent exposure, driving while intoxicated, disregarding police demands, three counts of hit and run, and one count of possession of narcotics.
