Naked man greets deputy on dark road, tells him not to be scared, FL cops say

Miami Herald30-04-2025

A suspect dubbed the 'Birthday Suit Bandit' surrendered while naked, and body cam video shows he was polite enough to raise his hands, kneel and tell the deputy not to be 'scared.'
The unusual encounter happened just after midnight Saturday, April 26, on a residential street in Palm Coast, where a woman reported a 'completely naked' man was trying to break into her home.
Video shows the responding deputy was on foot when he heard a voice in the dark say: 'I know you're going to be a little scared now. Don't worry about it. Everything's cool.'
Seconds later, the suspect appeared in the road, unclothed and unarmed. He then turned his back and put his hands behind his back in anticipation of being handcuffed.
The unflappable deputy did not appear scared and apparently not even surprised, other than to ask: 'What's going on, bro? ... You're walking around the street naked.'
The suspect was identified as a 63-year-old man who lives with his wife in the neighborhood. She was asleep at the time of the arrest, an affidavit reports.
'According to the victim, she called 911 after she heard what sounded like a knife trying to cut through the lock on her front door,' the sheriff's office said in a news release posted to Facebook.
'Upon arrival, a FCSO deputy located (the suspect) walking away from the victim's residence in his birthday suit as described and gouges on the victim's front door frame and molding.'
The man was charged with attempted burglary, exposure of sex organs and criminal mischief, and later released on a $12,000 bond, officials said.
'Attempting to break into a home without your britches is not an encounter you want to have with law enforcement,' Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release.

Virginia high school teacher arrested, accused of receiving inappropriate photos, grooming minors

FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — Detectives arrested a Fauquier County high school teacher and football coach on Monday after receiving reports of inappropriate relations with students. The Fauquier County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) said that the arrest of Gary Robert 'Bobby' Hix, 28, followed an investigation that included interviews and a review of electronic devices and social media. FCSO said that detectives determined that Hix was using the app Snapchat to contact students or football players under his supervision. He would ask for nude images from these individuals, who were both minors and adults. 2 teens charged in Southwest DC shoe robbery FCSO said that Hix also groomed minors, gaining a child's trust by isolating them or giving them gifts and telling them secrets to make them feel special. FCSO said that this makes a situation where 'abuse seems normal or acceptable.' 'The trust families place in us to protect and care for their children is sacred, and any violation of that trust is intolerable. We are cooperating fully with the Sheriff's Office and taking all appropriate personnel actions to address this matter and ensure the continued safety of our students,' Major Warner, Superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools, said in a statement. The Sheriff's Office said that the investigation into this case was still ongoing. Detectives believe that there may be other victims as well. FCSO asks that anyone who may have received inappropriate messages or images from Hix contact its Criminal Investigations Division at 540-422-8650. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
