PORT ST. LUCIE — A 28-year-old man was arrested after claiming to be an illegal alien and running naked down Southwest Bermel Avenue, according to a police report released Monday.

Roberto Carlos, of the 1500 block of Southwest Bermel Avenue, faces an indecent exposure charge in connection with the Saturday night incident.

Carlos, who was suspected of being intoxicated, told police he and his boyfriend were drinking beers and started arguing. Police suggested Carlos leave for the evening.

“Roberto stated he wanted to go to jail because he is an illegal alien and wanted to go back to Mexico,” the report states.

He said he planned to punch an officer in the face so he’d be arrested and was told it “was not in his best interest to execute those actions,” the report states.

That’s when Carlos stripped off his clothes and ran down the street before being caught.

Carlos told officers his name was Roberto C. Monarrez, but he was booked as Roberto Carlos.
