Dispatch advised the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that a naked man was standing in a car wash parking lot. When deputies arrived on scene, they reported they saw Raulerson, listed as ex-military, without pants on and blaring music from his vehicle. Deputies asked Raulerson to put his clothes on, to which he responded “they took off running by themselves without me.”

Deputies reportedly asked Raulerson to sit in his vehicle because he was naked, at which point Raulerson allegedly grabbed a screwdriver and threatened the officer.

The deputy retrieved a taser and reportedly told Raulerson to stay in his car, but he exited the vehicle and Raulerson was tased.

Raulerson was charged with aggravated assault on an officer, a second-degree felony. He is being held at the Escambia County Jail in lieu of a $10,000 bond.
