Stories about the new street drug Flakka – aka SUPER-METH! – keep popping up in the Florida media.
Flakka, as we reported last week, is a street drug with an amphetamine-like ingredient that causes paranoia, hallucinations, and the perception of super-human strength.
Police in Fort Lauderdale man say a man was hospitalized after running naked though the streets (go ooooooon…..). Matthew Kenney, 35, told officers he was afraid he was being pursued by the people who had stolen his clothes. He told officers that he was trying to get hit by a car, “because if I got hit by a car they would stop chasing me.”
He said that he would “rather die than be caught” by his shadowy pursuers, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
The Sun Sentinel also reports that that the drug has been implicated in several other disturbing incidents in South Florida, including:
…A naked gunman on a Lake Worth rooftop yelling that someone was trying to kill him, a man trying to kick in a glass door at the Fort Lauderdale police station because he thought he was being chased by a mob, another who impaled himself when he attempted to scale a security fence at the Fort Lauderdale station because he was trying to escape murderers, and yet another who left a trail of blood after attacking an 82-year-old Riviera Beach woman in her home.
Definitely watch the news footage below of the guy being impaled, because it’s DISGUSTING and will haunt your dreams FOREVER.
So, um, anyone have a Flakka hookup? Just wondering for a friend.
