A Florida man told cops he found a naked stranger in his bed: ‘It wasn’t pleasant’
Most people wouldn’t be happy with a naked stranger in their beds, except maybe if the person were JLo or Brad Pitt.
According to a police report from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, a Florida man had such an encounter, and it wasn’t pretty.
Homeowner Brandon Hall told NBC affiliate WBBH-TV that he was shocked to walk into his Naples home around 3 a.m. last Wednesday and see a stranger in his bed, sans clothing.
“It wasn’t pleasant, I’ll tell you that much,” Hall told the station.
According to the sheriff’s report, the nude individual was John Lyles, 38. Officers responding to Hall’s 911 call found the man lying “supine” in the victim’s robe, “exposing his genitalia.”
A deputy asked Lyles if he knew where he was, and the suspect stated that he did not.
“We would later find out that from John that he had been walking through the woods and brush completely naked,” read the complaint.
The South Carolina was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
After his medical release, Lyles was handcuffed and taken to Naples Jail Center for processing. During the ride, the affidavit states he attempted to tear the patrol car “apart,” and periodically burst into a “manic laugh.”
Hall reported a Playstation4 was missing and later recovered outside the home’s window.
Lyles was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling, criminal mischief and petit theft in the first degree.
He was released on $2,000 bond.
