The man allegedly tried to bite officers while being arrested, but authorities were eventually able to apprehend him. He was booked at the Multnomah County Detention Center just after 10:30 pm and subsequently charged with interfering with public transportation, disorderly conduct, trespass, resisting arrest, and menacing.

The man declined to provide his real name, identifying only as Captain Jack Sparrow, thus police had no choice but to enter that into his booking information. He is set to be arraigned on Thursday.
