SLIDELL, La. (AP) - Authorities believe a Mississippi man who rammed through a Louisiana airport and stripped down to his underwear because he thought “snakes were crawling up his pants” had been under the influence of a narcotic.
News outlets report 43-year-old Kevin Bolton of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, crashed through the Slidell Municipal Airport fence and collided with a utility pole Monday. Authorities say Bolton then ran into a patch of woods and was found in a subdivision wearing nothing but his underwear.
Bolton told authorities he’d been running from the police. However, authorities say police weren’t pursuing him at the time of the crash.

It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
