Oblivious suspect drops pile of wallets and IDs at feet of deputies, Florida cops say

A man suspected of prowling made matters a lot more complicated when he began rifling through multiple wallets, IDs and a pile of other people’s mail while being question, Florida investigators say.

Then came a baggie of cocaine, a number of pills and a gun, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The odd encounter happened around 5:20 a.m. Wednesday, May 1, in Winter Haven, about a 50-mile drive east of Tampa.

A resident of Eagle Loop Road reported a suspicious person and deputies arrived to find a 22-year-old man standing in someone’s backyard.

“The man ... said that the only reason he was at the location was to throw away trash from his two backpacks, and then he proceeded to do just that,” the sheriff’s office reports.

“The deputy noticed (him) was throwing away multiple envelopes with multiple addresses on them, and multiple ID’s belonging to multiple people, and then multiple wallets fell out of his backpack.”

Cocaine, oxycodone hydrochloride and alprazolam pills were also found, officials said.

“(He) created suspicions. Multiple suspicions. And that caused the investigation to grow. Eventually, it was determined that (he) had recently committed some burglaries in the area,” the sheriff’s office said.

The suspect, who lives about 15 miles away in Davenport, was arrested and charged with seven counts of armed burglary, two counts of grand theft, four counts of petit theft, unlawful possession of personal ID, loitering and prowling, and “possession of burglary tools, cocaine, alprazolam, oxycodone, and drug paraphernalia,” the sheriff’s office said.
