>> Machete attacks in South Florida
Jose Rodas Flores, 27, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer. He remains in the Palm Beach County Jail without bail.
On Monday, a man doing work near the 10000 block of Atlantic Avenue, west of Delray Beach, told authorities that a person, later identified as Rodas Flores, motioned for him to come over to him. When the man made his way over on the lawnmower, Rodas Flores took a machete out of his jeans and came after him, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriffs arrest report. The man told authorities he watched his alleged attacker get on a bike, but fell off because he was too intoxicated. PBSO did not indicate in their report if Rodas Flores was drunk at the time.
Deputies found Rodas Flores hiding nearby at his residence in nothing but his boxers. Authorities wrote that he was uncooperative as they took him to their patrol car.

Maybe that's why the guy was just in his shorts when the police found him - he cut his jeans waistband with the machete and they fell off.
