Kentucky Man Who Stole 100 Pairs of Women’s Underwear Arrested

A Kentucky man is facing numerous charges after he was found in possession of about 100 stolen pairs of women’s underwear and bras.

John Hawkins III, 36, was arrested and charged with seven counts of burglary in connection with burglaries that took place last summer.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said it recently received information about burglaries. The agency executed a search warrant at Hawkins’ home, which led to the discovery of the women’s undergarments. 

Investigators believe all of the underwear came from victims in Franklin County. They think the thefts were centered around the Shady Acres Mobile Home Park. The bras and underwear are allegedly the only things that Hawkins took.    

If you feel you were a victim in 2021 and did not report to authorities, please contact Detective Farmer at 502-875-8740.
