Naked Bandit Sits (Clothed) In Lee County Jail

THIS STORY WAS UPDATED ON OCTOBER 30, 2014:

MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Kennan Kluesener has had his court record sealed and therefore is no longer part of any criminal record.

No further action will take place in this case.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

FT. MYERS (CBSMiami) - He may have been naked, but he knew what he wanted. A man who broke into a Southwest Florida home Thursday grabbed some rum from a liquor cabinet, made a phone call, then fled the house after a teenaged girl who lived there saw him. Her Dad held him for the cops.

So starts the strange tale of Kennan Kluesener, who showed up at the Adams home wearing not a stitch of clothes. 14 year-old Skylar Adams was in the house, and told police she was shaken up when the saw the naked man with a bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum, and then heard him start to make a phone call.

She ran for her father, who found the man later identified as Kluesener in his front yard. He figured something beyond the nudity was wrong when he saw the man, huddled in a fetal position, whimpering.

An armed neighbor helped John Adams hold the man until Lee County Sheriff's Deputies arrived, but despite the strange nature of the burglary, the Adams family did show the burglar some kindness. They have him a pair of shorts and a blanket so he didn't have to head for the jail in the nude.

Deputies gave an address in Eustis, and he was charged with burglary and larceny.

Kluesener was held in the Lee County jail on $5500 bond, and is completely covered up by an orange jail jumpsuit.
