Charges: Man Gets Naked In Neighbors' Home After Driving Their Car To Walgreens
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 22-year-old Lakeville man is accused of illegally entering his neighbor's garage in the middle of the night, driving their car to Walgreens and then returning to the home, where he took off his clothes and knocked on a young woman's bedroom door.
Anthony Leonard Beck is charged with one count of third-degree burglary in connection to the incident last Monday, court documents filed in Dakota County show.
A criminal complaint states that Inver Grove Heights Police responded around 4 a.m. to the home where the young woman and her mother lived. At the scene, the young woman said she thought her mom was knocking on her bedroom door that morning and didn't expect Beck to enter naked when she said, "Come in."
She told police that she demanded Beck to leave and that he only did so after getting an "adult depends" from the bathroom. After collecting his clothes at the base of the stairs, the 22-year-old allegedly left the house, shouting "thank you ... I'm gone!"
The woman and her mother noticed the car in their garage had been moved and that the radio station had also been changed. They told officers that Beck knew the code to the garage, because he'd watched their dogs over the winter.
When police went to see Beck, he answered the door in his underwear, the complaint states. He told police he drove his neighbors' car to Walgreens because he "thought the world was ending." He admitted to taking drugs earlier in the day.
Beck also told police that when he returned the car to the garage, he went upstairs "dressed lewdly," hoping for sex.
Police then arrested Beck.
If convicted of the burglary charge, he faces a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison and/or and $10,000 fine.
