MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A man high on the drug Flakka tried to break into a Florida jail all while cameras captured the incident, deputies said.

Cameras rolled as 24-year-old Patrick Rempe was seen attempting to ram his car through the front door of the jail, shattering the glass, Indian River County deputies said.

Smoke from the tires billowed out from under the car.

When he couldn't get in, he drove into the fence outside a building and started climbing it before getting tangled in the razor wire.

Rempe was removed from the fence and taken to the hospital for injuries from the crash and razor wire.

Deputies said he was high on flakka and wanted to visit friends in jail.
