When police got to the scene, they found Peralta lying face down and completely naked in the empty field. He told cops he wanted his pants, which were in a nearby pile of clothing. The officers were happy to get Peralta his pants, and when they did, they found a pipe he’d been using to smoke meth in one of the pockets.
In addition to the pipe, the officers found a small baggy of meth stashed in one of Peralta’s shoes.
After taking Peralta into custody, officers asked him the obvious question: Why the hell were you naked and lying in the middle of a field?
His response: “[I] wanted to feel closer to God and the Earth.”
