A 53-year-old man who found himself on the side of the road in Orange wearing only pajamas tried to choke an officer who arrested him, then urinated on the floor of his holding cell, according to police.
Police in Orange said Harry Peters, of Derby, got into a physical fight with the driver of the car in which he was riding. They took the fight outside until the driver got back in and sped off, leaving Peters in the street.
Officers took Peters into custody and brought him to police headquarters, where he tried to choke one of them and later relieved himself on the floor of his cell, according to police.
Peters was charged with second-degree breach of peace, assault of an officer, interfering with an officer and third-degree criminal mischief.
He was held on $50,000 and was due in court Tuesday.
