Volusia sheriff's deputies responded to a DeBary home overnight where they found a naked man bleeding and covered in a slick substance, according to the sheriff's office.

The man, later identified as 34-year-old Blake Tokman, tried to run from deputies by jumping into a pool and then climbing out and throwing himself onto a trampoline in the backyard of a home on Highbanks Road, footage from a deputy's body camera shows.

Tokman, who appeared to be under the influence of unknown substances, was covered in wheel-bearing grease, peppermint oil and his own blood due to injuring himself, according to the sheriff's office. He was taken into custody shortly after 2 a.m. Friday and taken to the hospital for treatment.
