Deputies said when they arrived, they found the “birthday suit bandit” walking away from the resident’s home. They also discovered gouges on the victim’s front door, frame and molding.
“Attempting to break into a home without your britches is not an encounter you want to have with law enforcement,” Sheriff Staly said. “Doing so is bound to land you in the Green Roof Inn or dead by a homeowner protecting themselves from a lunatic.”
Hunter was taken to the Flagler County jail where he faces charges of attempted burglary, exposure of sex organs and criminal mischief.
He was released on $12,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office.
