Police in Florida have been left in disbelief after discovering a thermos up a man's rear end following his arrest.
Florida man Walter Frymire was arrested last weekend for allegedly trespassing on a railroad, which came after reports that the 51-year-old was spotted 'naked' in a local park bathroom.
Police headed to the park after a complaint was made, with Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County (some 60 miles from Orlando) explaining what happened.
He said in a video uploaded to Facebook and Instagram: "So we asked, ‘Is he naked or butt naked?' You know, you can be naked and still have your socks on."

When police finally came across Frymire, he was fully clothed, so they ultimately let him go.
However, they arrested him later that day after the Florida man was seen allegedly trespassing on local train tracks. Upon arresting him, police also say they discovered meth on Frymire.
But things took a strange turn when authorities brought him to jail.

Recalling how they discovered the thermos, the police sheriff said: "You might have thought that Walter was bringing drugs into the jail. He brought a thermos into the jail. That’s right.
“He put it up the exit ramp. You know what I mean?”
Judd added: "We said ‘Dude! What are you doing here?’ Well, I put that inside my body.’ He didn’t swallow it twenty-four hours earlier."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Frymire was taken to a local hospital in an effort to remove the thermos.

Thankfully, medical experts were able to remove the item.
"It was quite the ordeal, but he’s thermos-less in the county jail today," the sheriff added.
A released X-ray Frymire had done in the hospital showed a foreign object sitting from his hip up to his rib.

Judd added: "The deputy saved his life. And that was after Walter threatened to kill the deputy for arresting him."
The police officer concluded: "Told you you weren’t gonna believe it. Never seen it before. Have another drink of coffee."
Frymire has been arrested a whopping 25 times, with Judd explaining that the 51-year-old has served time behind bars on five separate occasions.
And the thermos incident is not the first time he has been refused entry to a prison, having previously been turned away from Marion County Jail due to a laceration on his forehead.

On that occasion, Frymire was taken to Ocala Medical Regional Center so his injuries could be treated, the Independent reports.
