Florida Police Search For Toe-Sucking Bandit

BRADENTON, FL — Florida police are searching for a toe-sucking bandit, who startled a Manatee County resident on Christmas Eve morning. The resident said he awoke to discover an intruder in his bedroom sucking on his toes.

"The victim asked the suspect what (he) was doing and told (the intruder) that he did not have any money," according to an incident report by the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

The intruder replied that he "was there to suck toes," to which the resident responded by punching the intruder in the mouth.

The struggle moved from the bedroom to the outside yard.

"The suspect told the victim that (he) had a gun and then attempted to fondle the victim's genital area," the report said. "The gun was never seen during the altercation."

The report said the victim got the intruder outside of the house, where he continued to hit the intruder in the face.

The resident managed to get back into the house and called the sheriff's office.

"While doing so, the suspect came back up to the house and punched out the glass on the front window, then got on top of the victim's vehicle and stomped on the windshield until the windshield broke," according to the incident report.

The intruder got away on foot. The sheriff's office used a dog in an attempt to track him but was unsuccessful.

"Photographs of the scene and the victim were taken and uploaded in accordance with agency policy," the incident report said, adding that DNA swabs were also taken.
