Faeces-covered nude man jumps into neighbour's pool

A Stuart man was drunk, naked and covered in faeces when he took a dip in his neighbour's back yard pool, authorities said. Robert Higgins, 21, was arrested on Saturday night on charges of burglary to an occupied dwelling, disorderly conduct and misdemeanor theft.

According to the arrest affidavit, Larry Foss told deputies he heard banging and then a splash coming from his enclosed pool area. When he turned on the outside lights, he noticed Higgins swimming in his pool.

Foss told deputies Higgins, who was completely naked, took a towel, broke through the screened area and ran away.



According to the affidavit, Foss found Higgins' shorts on his front porch, as well as human faeces in his pool, in the area around the screens and on the door handles.

Deputies said they used a K-9 to follow the scent of the shorts to a room in the back of a garage directly across the street.

According to the affidavit, Higgins told deputies he was drinking vodka shots and Coors beer. Higgins was being held at the Martin County Jail on $10,500 bond.
