Naked man tells cops he wants to see Jesus
AUSTINTOWN
A naked man told police he was high on acid and wanted to see Jesus in heaven after entering an apartment in the township early Thursday.
Alex J. Kotch, 21, of Georgetown Place, was arrested on charges of misdemeanor public indecency and resisting arrest and felony assault of a police officer and burglary.
According to a police report, Kotch reportedly was naked when he entered an apartment of the 4500 block of Deer Creek Court at 6:39 a.m. Thursday after knocking on a bedroom door.
The occupant of the apartment said Kotch told him that he was in heaven and on acid, the report said.
When Kotch wouldn’t leave the apartment, the occupant left and called the authorities. The resident also told police he had never seen Kotch before and didn’t know who he was.
A woman told police she had seen a naked man walking along Kirk Road about 10 minutes before he got to the apartments. Officers attempted to get Kotch to put on a pair of sweatpants after finding him lying in the bed and talking about how he wanted to go to heaven and be with Jesus.
