FAIRBANKS, Alaska -- A Fairbanks man arrested after allegedly walking around the Denali area naked and threatening a man with two fire extinguishers told Alaska State Troopers he might have been drugged.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that 24-year-old Brian Steinhoefel told troopers his behavior was "freaky," and that he believed he was slipped a drug while drinking alcohol in Fairbanks.

Troopers also located a gray Subaru at Mile 252.5 of the Parks Highway that Steinhoefel allegedly stole from a College Road home and drove until he ran out of gas.
