It’s gonna take more than a Band-Aid to patch up this mess.

A man under the influence of drugs in California tried to use gauze and Band-Aids to patch up his car’s two flat driver’s side tires, authorities said.

Police discovered the crudely attempted fix when they were dispatched to Felipe Road and Barbadanes in Mission Viejo about 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The cops were responding to a report of a suspicious man loitering outside his white Mercedes SUV, according to Mission Viejo police.

The unidentified man was arrested for being under the influence of drugs, cops said.

Photos shared by the police department show dozens of green Band-Aid wrappers littering the ground next to a flat tire.
