Man accused of stealing potato peeler, knife and small dog

Police in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, arrested a 24-year-old man accused of breaking into an apartment building and stealing kitchen utensils and a dog.

According to the police report, Garrett Stauber broke into an apartment on Bridle Trail. Police said he took a kitchen knife and potato peeler and then fled with the resident’s dog. "That's completely weird. That's completely uncalled for," said witness Joseph Sarkis.



Authorities said Stauber appeared drunk after he left the apartment and was confronted by a neighbour. Stauber and the neighbour briefly fought before Stauber was able to get away. Investigators said they followed a footprint trail to a nearby apartment where Stauber was staying.

"They (police) knocked on a door and found a gentleman sitting on the sofa without a shirt on," said Capt. Greg Seamon of Moon Township police. He was arrested and charged with simple assault and burglary. The victim said they’ve since moved out of the apartment.

And I thought my wife's great-uncle was weird--he used to swipe potato mashers from the relatives and friends he used to visit.

Heh heh!

What did he do with them?

When my wife went to clear out his apartment, after he passed away, she just found them all stashed in a kitchen drawer. It was probably some kind of form-fetish (in the interesting-to-the-mind sense, not sexual sense).

How fascinating.

Was he a big fan of mashed potato?

I don't know. I do know he had a rather peculiar sense of humor. He was known to sneak a duck call into restaurants and then surreptitiously blow into the device.
