As with the South Beach Miami face-eating attack, 26-year-old Charles Baker got naked, bit off some human flesh and had to be taken by force, according to a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report.

Authorities say Baker, high on an unknown drug, went to his girlfriend’s home on 25th St in Palmetto to visit his kids at 10:15 p.m. They say he barged in, began yelling and took off his clothes. He began to scream and throw furniture around the home.

Jeffery Blake, who lives in the home, attempted to restrain Baker, but the suspect bit him, taking a chunk of his flesh from his bicep. He was eventually able to get Baker to the ground and kept him there until two deputies arrived.

When the police arrived, Blake released Baker. Baker got up, but would not respond to deputies orders. According to deputies Baker faced them, tensing his body, clenching his fists and screaming. Baker, still naked, acted like he was going to rush the deputies, according to the report.

Deputy Wildt gave a verbal warning then Tased Baker. Baker fell to the ground, tried to get back up and was tased again. Baker pulled the probes out, so deputy Blake deployed his electric shock device. Baker , and Deputy Wildt deployed a second cartridge. Baker also pulled out those probes

Eventually several other deputies had arrived on scene and were able to hold him down and handcuff him.
Baker was taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital for evaluation before being transported to the jail.
