Police said Thomas Blacine was arrested over the weekend when a police dog tracked his scent to a sport utility vehicle parked near the 700 block of East Second Street after a woman said she was fondled in her sleep.Investigators said Blacine's actions fit the modus operandi of a man they have been hunting since 2004 in connection with more than 12 naked intrusions into Central Florida homes.Homeowner Linda Combs said she woke up to a naked man tickling her -- for the second time."I felt something on my leg and thought it was my cat and I look up and it was this naked guy," Combs said. "And he ran again."Combs said she did not know if Blacine is the man who tickled her because she only saw his buttocks."I would recognize him more if there was a shot of his skinny, white butt," Combs said. "The second time he was naked as could be."Police said Blacine has admitted to breaking into women's homes and videotaping them while they slept. However, he has not admitted to tickling women."It appears that he was improperly videotaping women in their homes, both awake and as they slept," New Smyrna Beach police Sgt. Mike Brouilette said. "So, we are looking into other cases that are unsolved in the area."Officers said Blacine was videotaped performing a bizarre behavior."In one of the cases he was seen urinating into a half-gallon of milk," Brouilette said.Blacine was transported to the Volusia County Jail and charged with burglary and tampering with a consumer product.
