Man High on ‘Flakka' Rams Car Into County Jail to See Friends

A Florida man high on “flakka”, a synthetic drug similar to bath salts, told authorities he rammed his car into a county jail to see his friends, NBC News reported.

Patrick Rempe, 24, shattered the doors of the Indian Country River Jail in Vero Beach, Florida, barely missing a sheriff’s deputy. He didn't make it inside. 

Officials said Rempe then crashed his car into a fence, jumped out, climbed up the fence and became entangled in razor wire.

Rempe admitted to police he was high on the drug. He faces charges of aggravated assault, battery, driving under the influence and other charges.
