In a bizarre turn of events, a fully naked man was apprehended at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Monday after attempting to walk through security.

The incident, in Terminal 1, involved an alleged drunk man who parked his car on the sidewalk before casually strolling into the airport striped down to his birthday suit.

The suspect, identified as Martin Evtimov, 36, was captured on terminal footage calmly navigating the check-in lanes while surprised passengers watched the scene unfold. Evtimov continued his naked journey through the terminal, eventually reaching the TSA security line, where he walked past several agents and engaged in incoherent conversation.

Video footage obtained by WSVN showed Evtimov veering away from the screening area and attempting to access a door marked "Restricted Access." However, he was intercepted by sheriff's deputies and additional TSA agents at the baggage inspection line.

As law enforcement officers moved in to detain Evtimov, he allegedly resisted arrest before ultimately being subdued and taken into custody. Video footage obtained by Local10 captured the moment when Broward County sheriff's deputies detained Evtimov, bending him over the baggage conveyor belt. (Ouch!)

Court documents show that Evtimov is facing multiple charges, including resisting arrest with violence, battery on law enforcement (twice), and exposure of sexual organs (who knew.)

In addition, he has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and disorderly intoxication. Evtimov was subsequently booked into the Broward County Jail, where he remains on a $3,500 bond.

During his court appearance on Tuesday, Evtimov was informed by a judge that he has been banned from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The judge also ordered him to undergo a mental health screening and refraining from alcohol and drugs.

This incident is not the first time Fort Lauderdale airport has witnessed unconventional behavior. In September, a Reddit post went viral after capturing a woman in an orange halter-neck dress with her clothing hiked up, revealing her bare backside while waiting in line for a Spirit Airlines flight. The incident garnered attention and remarks from fellow passengers who found the situation peculiar.

As authorities continue to investigate the motives behind Evtimov's actions.
