PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

Police said a man admitted to being on drugs when he was exposing himself in north Portland early Monday morning.

An officer approached Joey Vandervort, 19, just after 12:30 a.m. in the area of North Lombard St. and North Burlington Street in St. Johns. Police said Vandervort was exposing himself with his pants around his ankles while staring at a woman.

Police said when the officer approached him, Vandervort tried to punch the officer. The officer was not hit.

Vandervort then tried to run away, but because he hadn't pulled up his pants, he tripped and fell several times, police said.

The responding officer called for backup and police were able to take Vandervort into custody.

Police said one officer injured his hand while arresting Vandervort but wasn't badly hurt.

Vandervort told police he was under the influence of a stimulant, so officers took him to the hospital for treatment before taking him to the Multnomah County Jail. Police didn't identify the stimulant Vandervort admitted to taking.

Vandervort faces a number of charges, including indecent exposure, assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct.

His pants are around his ankles, he's tripping and falling and the on scene officer still couldn't catch him??
