Saint John police spent an hour on Tuesday night trying to get an intoxicated man down from a rooftop.
Police arrived at the home on Duke Street West to find a man dancing on the roof.
The man then took off his clothes and danced a bunny-hop across the roof while slapping his buttocks, police said.
The man was drinking out of a bucket he said contained tequila, police said.
Despite police efforts to convince the man to come down, the man remained on the roof until a friend arrived and talked to him.
He was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and causing a disturbance, police said.
Police are not releasing the man's name.
He is expected to appear in court in Saint John on Wednesday.
