Nude burglary suspect caught

A clothesless man was arrested in Cool Monday morning in connection to a bizarre act of burglary and vandalism committed at a Cherry Acres Road home over the weekend.

For resident Colt Langstaff, things first appeared out of the ordinary when he returned from a weekend camping trip at around 10 p.m. Sunday to find his front yard fence knocked down, and an unknown Ford pickup parked sideways in his driveway, and dozens of personal items from his residence strewn about his lawn.

When Langstaff got out of his vehicle and walked toward his home, he encountered a man wrapped only in a sheet coming out the back door. The sheet-wrapped male, later identified as 37-year-old Terence Michael Dean of Clements, asked Langstaff what he was doing at the home. When Langstaff replied that it was his home, Dean said nothing more and ran from the residence.

Once inside, Langstaff discovered all of the home's water faucets running, and some of which had overflowed and caused water damage to the carpet and flooring.

While he was turning off the faucets in one of the bathrooms, he observed numerous packages of meat lying mysteriously in the sink and bathtub.

Near the front door of the home, a shrine which consisted of a Buddha statue placed on a bongo drum was left behind. A trail of potting soil was created, and connected the shrine to a nearby walkway.

Another potting soil trail led from the home's garage to the suspect's truck, where three plant stands were left, each holding a teddy bear.

It does get stranger.
