CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A Florida man was arrested after he was caught lurking in a neighborhood with underwear around his neck in the same area where bonsai trees were reportedly stolen two weeks ago, according to officers.
Troy Dean Stuart, 35, was arrested and charged with one count of loitering and prowling after the incident that unfolded just before 10 p.m. on Thursday in the 2000 block of Everest Parkway in Cape Coral, police said in a news release.
Officers responded to a call from a neighbor who said a "prowler" was in their backyard near the dock, and they were spotted on the property's surveillance cameras. The man was seen wearing a gray hoodie, black shorts and a dark mask on his face as he hid behind a chair. The caller said the man came from a neighbor's backyard, deputies said.
The man, identified as Stuart, was located in an empty lot on Everest Parkway, deputies said. He was lying on his stomach between bushes near the seawall. He was wearing the same outfit the caller described, except the mask on his face was actually revealed to be a dark navy pair of underwear around his neck, Cape Coral police said. ..............(more)
