A police helicopter was sent to the 2000 block of North Bush Street around 11:45 a.m. Wednesday after Santa Ana police were flooded with calls about the naked man who was performing a sexual act either to or at drivers, according to Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna.
Police say the man was 36-year-old Charles Edward Meaux Jr., a transient in the area and an alleged white supremacist with a long criminal history.
Meaux, who has a white supremacist tattoo above his left eyebrow, climbed down a ladder and hid inside a home where a family and a child were present, Bertagna said. The family was evacuated as a precaution.
Police say Meaux was found inside a closet and struggled with police, forcing them to use a Taser to subdue him.
Meaux was arrested and booked on suspicion of burglary, indecent exposure, obstructing and resisting officers, and disorderly conduct, Bertagna said. His bail was set at $150,000, according to jail records.
