Sailor Accused Of Getting Drunk And Streaking Around Amusement Park

A 21-year-old sailor assigned to the USS George H.W. Bush was arrested on Friday for allegedly getting hammered and streaking through the quad of the Busch Gardens parking lot.

Police told the Virginian-Pilot that Adrian Gilbert Cardenas was tased after attempting to fight bystanders and at least one police officer in the amusement park’s lot, where he was spotted running around naked and trying to break into cars.

Cardenas was first taken to a hospital because he was intoxicated with “alcohol and illegal narcotics,” police told the Virginia Gazette.

In video partially taken of the incident, it appears that Cardenas seems pretty blitzed (obvious likely super drunk guy in the nude warning):

Cardenas was charged with felony assault of an officer, indecent exposure, intentional damage, and obstruction of justice, according to Navy Times.

A spokesperson for the Bush did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Task & Purpose.
