RENO, Nev. (AP) - Two years after a nude man was caught on surveillance tape breaking into a convenience store and stealing alcohol and weapons, sheriff's deputies in Reno think they've finally collared the "naked burglar."
Washoe County Sheriff's spokeswoman Brooke Keast says 24-year-old Adam Clay Baker was arrested at his residence in Cold Springs on Thursday. He was booked on a charge of burglary in the early morning break-in at the Spring Mart in Cold Springs on June 26, 2006.
Keast says a number of cameras captured video of the "naked burglar" from the time he entered the building, sprinted through the business gathering merchandise and attempted to disguise himself by placing a trash bucket over his head.
She says deputies had questioned a number of suspects since the burglary but they were later eliminated because they did not match
certain physical attributes.
