PHOENIX - Authorities in one California city say a man was arrested after he was found trying to repair his tires with a decidedly unconventional method.

According to Sheriff's officials in Orange County, deputies were called out to the scene Tuesday morning after receiving a call from a concerned citizen. When deputies arrived, they found a car with both of the tires on the driver's side flat, and a 26-year-old man trying to use gauze and band-aids.

The man, sheriff's officials say, was placed under arrested for being under the influence of drugs. Police posted photos of the repair work on social media Tuesday afternoon.
