    NORTH CHARLESTON, South Carolina (WYFF) — Officers said a report of a naked man outside a North Charleston, South Carolina, gas station led to a drug arrest on Monday afternoon.

Around 4:15 p.m., an officer with the North Charleston Police Department responded to the Circle K gas station on Rivers Avenue following a call about a man reportedly naked in the nearby bushes.

Upon arrival, the officer found the man in plain view without pants.
