"We guess he thought he was 'high and dry,'" the Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook. "Luckily, he didn't go for a tumble."

Brook is said to have been arrested prior to this and a K-9 was used to apprehend him. He reportedly exited the dryer this time when he heard that a K-9 was going to be used. 

In body camera video from the Lake County Sheriff's Office of his latest arrest, Brook is heard telling deputies, "that thing has my whole back twitched. I don't know what's worst, the dog or the laundry thing."

A deputy responds by saying "look man, it's just easier to comply."

Brook was reportedly taken into custody and booked for both warrants. He is being held on no bond per the warrant's order.
