Burglary suspect caught wearing a loincloth

Belmont County deputies said they may have found the man responsible for a burglary on Monday night, and for others in the area.

They think a man claiming to be Mark David Veal is responsible for the burglaries.

The brought him in to the department Monday night, after a caller reported seeing a man wandering down the street in a loin cloth.



"I've been at this for a long time, and I don't believe I've ever seen anyone in a loin cloth," Chief Hummel said.

According to Hummel: "The initial charge was a felony two burglary." But, the man in the loin cloth acted out in jungle ways, prompting additional charges of failure to comply and aggrivated menacing.

"He threatened that he's going to come down and kill us all with a machine gun and AK-47, his behaviour and his appearance were certainly irrational," Hummel said.
