Nevada police have arrested a man they say broke into women’s homes and rubbed their feet while they slept.
Between July 1 to July 3, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received reports of a man unlocking the screen doors of two Stateline resort condominiums and going inside where he would sit on the women’s beds and rub their feet while they slept, ABC News reported.
“Each female awoke from their sleep as the subject was rubbing their feet,” authorities said. “Once awake the females confronted the male subject and he fled the scene.”
Thanks to forensic techniques, police were able to track down Anthony Gonzales, 26, at his home and arrest him.
“DCSO Investigators learned Gonzales was known to local law enforcement in the Atwater/Merced County, California area and was the suspect of numerous crimes, including the theft of women’s shoes, trespassing … and it appeared to DCSO Investigators that Gonzales’ crimes were escalating in nature,” the Sheriff’s office said.
“I am extremely pleased that my Investigators were able to identify, locate, and arrest this individual,” said Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley. “These types of crimes are especially alarming to a community, and being able to make an arrest allows the victims and community to feel safe again.”
Gonzalez was charged with two counts of Burglary and two counts of Battery, DCSO said. He is detained at the Merced County Jail on a fugitive warrant with a bail of $50,000 until he is extradited to Douglas County, Nevada, to face charges.
