Police looking for the half-dressed intruder

Jackson Hole, Wyo.-Police are still looking for a man they say brazenly entered a south Jackson home early Sunday and rummaged through the bathroom drawers, then fled the scene without most of his clothes.

One of the home’s two residents, a man, went to investigate after hearing the sound of a door shut in the house, according to a crime summary provided by the Jackson Police Dept. Upon seeing a bathroom light on, the man went to the bathroom and saw a tall man, possibly around 6 feet, 3 inches, with blond hair to his shoulders.

The male resident grabbed the tall man while his wife called police. The suspect then tried to flee the scene, but the man was able to stall him by grabbing onto his clothing.

The suspect was able to struggle loose, but left his coat, shirt and vest. The authorities followed the suspect’s footprints to Aspen Drive, and also found a shoe that had come off in deep snow.

Police have released this photo of the suspect’s clothing and ask anyone who recognizes the clothing to call Corporal Russ Ruschill at 733-1430.

Kid on drugs looking for more drugs???
Joshua Doolittle

I know the kid they're looking for. He was heavily intoxicated and thought he was home and was attempting to find his toothbrush so he could brush his teeth and go to bed. Unfortunately for him it wasn't his house, and even worse it turns out there has been a string of burglaries in the same area. So now he's wanted for burglary and has opted to return to his home state as to avoid legal complications that could ruin his life.
