Naked man found hiding in tanning bed after trying to set Florida gym on fire

Lee County, FL - Video shows deputies arresting a man who allegedly tried to set a Florida gym on fire before he was found laying naked in a tanning bed.
The body camera footage released by the Lee County Sheriff's Office shows deputies responding to a Planet Fitness Saturday night after receiving reports that a naked man was running through the gym, crawling into the ceiling and trying to start a fire in the bathroom.
"I got a fire in the men's locker room," a deputy says into his radio in the footage.
Deputies are seen searching the gym with guns drawn and a barking K-9 before they find the man laying in a tanning bed naked.
The man, 25-year-old Henrry Antunez-Avarado was taken into custody and placed in a patrol car, before the video shows him being taken out so he can be wrapped in what looks like a blanket or towel.
"They're gonna wrap you up," a deputy tells him. "You left cheek marks."
According to the sheriff's office, Antunez-Avarado had been asked to leave the gym at closing time, when staff said he began acting erratically.
Surveillance footage from the gym showed him running around naked and at one point climbing into the ceiling, knocking down several ceiling tiles, authorities said.
Antunez-Avarado, of Fort Myers, was arrested and faces charges including arson, indecent exposure, criminal mischief and providing false identification to law enforcement.
