It took cops in Duluth, Minn., 20 minutes to catch a burglary suspect who met this eyewitness description: naked.
The 20-year-old suspect lost his T-shirt, pants, underpants and shoes when a homeowner walked in on his attempted burglary and tried to wrestle him to the ground.
The intruder ran away and cops asked homeowner Wayne Boniface to describe the suspect: “Oh, yeah. I believe he’s the only guy running nude in Duluth.” The suspect was arrested 20 minutes later.
