Naked man arrested for watering his lawn accused of attacking police

A man in California was in jail Friday, accused of assaulting officers with a deadly weapon.

The Fresno County Sheriff's Office said Robert Lopez assaulted officers at his home after a report came in that he was watering his lawn while naked.

According to police, Lopez resisted officers' requests to put his clothes on and he threw a beer bottle and a knife at them.

It took several deputies to restrain Lopez before an assisting officer finally fired a bean bag round from his handgun into Lopez's stomach.

Lopez was taken to a hospital and was later booked at the Fresno County jail.

He faces felony charges of assault with deadly weapon on a peace officer, resisting arrest and misdemeanor indecent exposure.
