(CBS) SACRAMENTO - A man allegedly high on methamphetamine entered a Sacramento welding shop, naked, asked for a job interview, and then fought with police before being arrested.

CBS Sacramento reports police responded to a report that a naked male had entered a welding shop and was rambling incoherently.

Owner Chris Johnson called police after escorting Jose Ayala, who asked for a job interview, out of his shop.

"I turn around and I'm like 'whoa!'" Johnson said of seeing the nude man. "He said something about he was looking for work, and he was good with his hands. I didn't know why a naked dude would be in my shop."

Johnson's brother Eric arrived just moments later. "He appeared to be wacked," Eric said of Ayala. "He was wasted."

When officers arrived and attempted to detain Ayala, he became combative. Both officers, a man and a woman, were on the ground wrestling with him when Ayala grabbed onto the female officer's hair. That's when the Johnsons and others jumped in to help.

Ayala was transported to a local hospital and later charged with with resisting arrest, indecent exposure, trying to escape and assault on a police officer.

He was booked into the Sacramento County Jail without bail on an immigration hold.

The manager should have said, ahh we are strictly a MIG and TIG shop. We don't do stick welding anymore.

John Boehner was with him and when Newt got arrested. Boehner fell down on the floor on his back kicked his heels on the floor and started crying very loudly and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Oh my god now we'll never have a republican president".; Reply to this comment

If it was a naked girl the male cop would be written up and sued by the ALCU. The illegal perp would be given asylum and signed up for a reality show.

by longtree-2009 February 29, 2012 6:20 PM EST: law enforcement officers should not have long hair. it should cut short, very short, to prevent being thrown or held down by the hair. neckties, if worn, should be clip on. they should have grabbed him by his package assuming they wear gloves while on duty. given the people they have to handle, or arrest, they should wear tight fitting gloves with fingertips exposed to some degree for handling evidence.; Reply to this comment
