"I'd probably be lying if I said that I didn't smirk a little bit, that's for sure," Sgt. Greg Staffordsmith told Putney. "Sort of disbelief. I actually had to read the report twice."

By the time the officer arrived on the scene, he said 31-year old Jermaine Jones of Trenton was under a stairwell - still naked - eating broken glass and cigarettes.

"He also admitted to the officer that he had recently ingested cocaine," Staffordsmith said.

Jones is charged with being under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance and with disorderly conduct.

He was treated for minor cuts to his mouth.
