A Lauderhill man was held in jail after attempting a series of burglaries while high on flakka in Oakland Park on Sunday, deputies said.
Anthony Demps, 24, already had five warrants for burglary among several other charges at the time of his arrest at 1:20 p.m. Sunday, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office arrest report.
When he was arrested, Demps said he was running from a "secret federal government" that was preventing him from seeing his daughter, the report stated. He later mentioned he had been smoking flakka since the previous night, deputies said.
During his five attempted burglaries, Demps cut the screens of four patios and tried to break into four locked sliding glass doors, deputies said.
