Police Arrest Man Wearing Only a Toga
1 hour, 53 minutes ago
MORGANTON, N.C. - Police captured a man wearing only a toga while he sped away in a car with women's underwear inside. Michael Sean Ostrander, 33, was arrested Monday after allegedly breaking into the home of a Burke County woman and making off with some of her clothes.
The woman told police she was visiting a neighbor when she heard her burglar alarm go off and saw a man flee in a car.
The woman gave chase and called the police, with the state Highway Patrol and local officers joining the pursuit along North Carolina Highway 181.
According to the patrol, Ostrander was arrested near the Burke-Avery county line after stopping his car. The Burke County Sheriff's Office said it found panties and photos belonging to the woman inside Ostrander's car.
Ostrander is charged with breaking, entering and larceny, possession of stolen goods and speeding to avoid arrest all felonies.
He spent four years in prison following a 2001 conviction in Catawba County on a second-degree rape charge.
A judge on Wednesday set a probable cause hearing for next month.
Sounds like this guy was using the "I'm Julius Ceasar" ploy to get off the hook. I don't fall for that one anymore.
I once made an arrest while dressed as the IHOP Pancake !
Perp was muggin old gomers crossing the parking lot etc so I was volunteered to be the IHOP pancake for a few days......I looked good !
I bet the perp was shocked when you whipped out your Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity®.
In the immortal words of Seinfeld, Is that wrong?
it took 2 posts to get the mandatory John Belushi pic on this one :)
Reminds me of my college days..........
