\"\u2018Buck <\/p>\n

LAKELAND, Fla. – A Florida<\/a> man claiming to be taking part in a TikTok challenge was arrested after he was caught on camera walking \u2018buck-naked\u2019 down a Polk County<\/a> street, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

A man was driving to work earlier this month on Broken Arrow Trail when he spotted a man walking down the road naked, despite the 36-degree outside temperature. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The man was captured on the driver\u2019s Tesla cameras.<\/p>\n

“You know what buck-naked means. He\u2019s not even wearing any socks,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd<\/a> explained. “You can be naked and wearing socks, but buck-naked means you don\u2019t have anything on.”<\/p>\n

The driver called the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

“We asked him, \u2018Are you cold?\u2019 Not bit. What are you doing? Well, it\u2019s a TikTok challenge. You don\u2019t even have your cell phone. You\u2019re really naked when you don\u2019t have your cell phone,” Judd said.<\/p>\n

The sheriff added that when the deputies asked him for his name, the man gave a false name and wrong address.<\/p>\n

“So, we addressed him for obvious violations of the law,” Judd stated. “He went to the jail and, afterall, he went there without any clothes on. That\u2019s how he arrived at book in. We said,” Here he comes, buck-naked.”<\/p>\n

A public information officer for the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office told FOX 13 that the man\u2019s real name is Anthony Day.<\/p>\n

He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting an officer without violence and exposure of sexual organs.<\/p>\n

What we don’t know:<\/p>\n

It is unclear why he was walking naked down the street because investigators said he did not have a camera to video a TikTok challenge as he claimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
