Man said too much music and masturbation caused him to vandalise home

A Florida man accused of vandalising a home told deputies that he had listened to too much music and masturbated too much, which caused him to feel like “going out and destroying stuff.”

Largo police officers responded to a home at around 2pm on April 8 after someone reported seeing a man smashing a mailbox. When police arrived at the home, they say they found William Timothy Anderson Thomas, 25, from Clearwater, on the property, shirtless and covered in dirt.



According to an arrest affidavit, a trailer tyre had been flattened, a window on the house was broken, and a mailbox, a real estate sign and a garden angel were completely destroyed. Police say Thomas admitted to willfully and maliciously damaging the property.

“He also stated he had listened to too much music and masturbated too much and he felt like going out and destroying stuff,” said the arrest affidavit. Thomas was arrested and charged with burglary and criminal mischief. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail with bond set at $7,000.
