A Florida man believed to be high on Flakka, a designer drug stronger than crystal meth, attacked a police officer after being shocked with a Taser twice while claiming he was God, police said.
Police were called after Kenneth Crowder, 41, was seen by a witness on Friday running naked through a neighborhood calling himself God.
He was also spotted committing an undisclosed sex act on a tree.
Crowder was arrested in Melbourne, facing charges of battery on a law-enforcement officer, resisting with violence, and assault with a deadly weapon on a law-enforcement officer.

When police arrived on scene, he had put on jeans and a T-shirt and walked toward the officer in an aggressive manner as he called himself God, police told WKMG.
A police officer shocked him with a Taser twice, but each time he pulled the probes out of his body and attempted to fight the officer.
The officer then punched Crowder in the face and he fought back, claiming he was Thor and attempting to stab the officer with his own police badge.
More officers eventually came to the scene and helped handcuff and shackle Crowder.
He was booked into Brevard County Jail Complex and later posted bond to be released.
Flakka, which can be injected, snorted, smoked, swallowed or taken with other substances like marijuana, is usually made from the chemical alpha-PVP.
That's the synthetic version of the stimulant cathinone, the same type of chemical that is used to make bath salts.
Flakka resembles a mix of crack cocaine and meth and it has a noticeably foul smell, according to WPBF 25 News.
Once ingested, the drug causes a feeling of euphoria, hallucinations and sometimes psychosis or apparent superhuman strength.
The high lasts for a couple hours and users are left with a strong desire to use again.
Users have nicknamed the drug '$5 insanity' because hits often cost less than $10, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
There were more than 670 Flakka occurrences in Florida in 2014, up from 85 in 2012 and zero in 2010, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
