But police say Bess ignored that warning. He was found naked, bathing in the men's bathroom at the library on Wednesday. Police searched his bag and found two knives, two library CD's and 4 pounds of parmesan cheese which he allegedly stole from a local store.
Court documents shows Bess is homeless and has a history of bizarre thefts. In May, he was arrested after he allegedly tried to shoplift 10 cans of herring and 16 cans of sardines at a local store. Then on June 13th, he was accused of trying to take several bags of candy from a Graeter's location.
Bess now faces new charges of carrying a concealed weapon, public indecency, criminal trespass, theft and receiving stolen property.

I don't find his thefts that bizarre. Fish is good, candy is good, and have you ever snacked on a straight block of parmesean cheese? DE-LISH!
Naked in the library bathroom is not good, from my perspective, but I assume he went in with clothes on and was bathing and was just busted being naked. Also, you need a knive or two; especially if you're homeless. Doesn't mean he was packin a switchblade, weapons charge could be trumped up. I'm awfully forgiving this morning, wtf?
cool story, bro:
I had a homeless enter the store I was working in Houston, TX come in, and the boss and I lost track of him. After a bit I went to the restroom and opened the door to a wall of stench never before known and saw the dude middle of the floor pants at ankles. I backed breathlessly away with a "oh, sorry" *gasp*. Dude leave and says "yer toilet is plugged up." Bastard had gone in there and smeared his shiat all over the walls and stall everywhere. Honestly, at first we just cracked the door and sprayed chemicals randomly for awhile to work the stench and generally sterilize. When my boss accepted the call of duty with the mop and rags that day, he earned my ultimate respect. Additionally, it was hard to not accidentally open my door or toss garbage at the guy when I'd see him in the area afterwards.
/told you it was a cool story, bro
//your fault for reading. NEXT!
I had the exact same thought: What's so bizarre about a homeless person stealing cheese, having a knife (which is a generally handy tool, and which most people have at least one of in their homes), or bathing in a public restroom? What is bizarre, however, is describing someone as being "armed" with a block of cheese.
At least in jail he'll have a roof and three squares a day.
At least someone had the satifaction of being able to use the line from the old joke, "That's nacho cheese!"
