DENTON, Texas — Body camera footage captured a bizarre interaction between officers and a man covered in black ink.
Police said when they confronted Joseph Augustini, 25, for running in traffic Monday afternoon he told them “I know the law. I am the law,” the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
According to an affidavit, Augustini continued to give “rambling random answers,” and told officers they should remove their weapons because it would not be a “fair fight.”
Police said he had a clear pipe in his hand and residue tested positive for amphetamines.
He was arrested on charges of non-alcohol public intoxication and possession of drug paraphernalia.
