Naked burglar sneaks into Georgia home to do laundry

WOODSTOCK, Ga. --A naked man was arrested after breaking into a north Georgia home through a pet door, authorities said.

Cherokee County Deputy Joshua Watkins told CBS affiliate WMAZ that 28-year-old Jarred Lemming entered the home nude to shower, wash his laundry and to use the owner's Wi-Fi.

The incident report said Lemming was spotted Wednesday climbing a neighbor's fence and squeezing through the dog door at the back of the house.

Watkins said Lemming was still inside the home when deputies arrived. He told the deputies that he knew the homeowner, but didn't notify him because he "did not want to bother him."

Investigators said evidence at the scene didn't support Lemming's story, WMAZ reported. There was no clothing in the washing machine, the shower hadn't been recently used, and his phone was in his truck.

Deputies also found dog hair and scuff marks on his clothing, suggesting gained entrance through the dog door.

The homeowner confirmed Lemming's story that he did stay with him in the past, but did not have permission to be there since he moved out last year.

Lemming was charged with burglary in the first degree.

Some crazy people walking around obviously. I mean, I guess it is not so strange to see this kind of behaviour in America but nevertheless it is both hilarious and sad. I don't know what would I do if I found a naked guy in my bathroom or laundry.

Now, a lot of people are going to find slim guys who can fit through pet doors.


Also, its not a first degree burglary since his motives are not clear and he wasn't armed either. Classic case of cops not knowing what to book a guy for.

First-degree burglary through a dog door? So if he had broke a window of picked a lock what degree would it have been? It dosesn't seem that the burglar was up to anything too sinister. There seems to be a bit of comedy involved, but comedy or no comedy, he has to face the consequences of his actions, even though the charge may seem a bit harsh.

Maybe the home owner should have released the footage of the guy entering the home through the pet door. That would have taught the guy a much better lesson. 8)  Public Shaming works. Just not in case of Trump.

A weird one, the intruder and homeowner clearly knew each other yet the intruder felt the need to lie about his reasons for entering the house. Maybe he was looking for something he left behind!

Seriously though, if nothing has been stolen and there was no intent to steal or use violence I think this man could have been let go with a caution. Getting caught after crawling through the dog's entrance is bad enough!

i would have shot him

How did he manage to fit in doors intended for dogs? Does he practice yoga? lol

Well it is always these types of stories that first give me a good laugh, and then I really get to the head shaking and starting to think about what is wrong with some people.  I guess people are just people though, and there are some strange ones out there and so you are bound to get some stories like this.  I would be terrified if I were that family though...I feel bad for them.

Weird people always had a laughable excuses for their uncanny behavior. I remember an interview from a man that claimed to be an android for outer space and fluent in 17 languages, He was charged for decapitating a bloke because He didn't that was illegal.  ::confused::
