Overview

• Deputies say the case began with a call about a naked man at a Winter Haven park; they later arrested Walter Frymire after he trespassed on nearby railroad tracks.
• During jail intake, a body scanner revealed a concealed thermos, and Frymire acknowledged he had placed it inside his body, according to Sheriff Grady Judd.
• He was transported to a hospital where a specialist removed the object, and he has since been returned to the Polk County Jail.
• Judd said Frymire, 51, has about 25 prior arrests and five state prison stints, and he credited the arresting deputy with likely saving Frymire’s life.
• Frymire was booked on trespassing and meth possession, WFLA reported, and Judd said he threatened to kill the deputy during the arrest.
