Police say a man was arrested after breaking into a home while wearing nothing but a cowboy hat in Johns Creek, Ga., on Monday.
“They’re like, what was he wearing? And I’m like, absolutely nothing… a cowboy hat,” homeowner Cori Davenport said about the call she made to 911.
She knew something was wrong after she heard her daughter scream in their home. Davenport came downstairs and found Ashdon Gibbs in her kitchen — completely in the buff.
“Our garage was up, he came in through the garage and she was in the kitchen. He just walked in,” she said. Police say he tried to steal a motorcycle from their driveway before coming inside, and the Davenport’s surveillance cameras caught the whole thing.
But that was just the end of Gibbs’ day.
Police say his alleged crime spree started when he stole a car Monday morning. It gets weirder from there.
“The subject had driven a stolen vehicle that he had stolen from Decatur, burglarized two homes within the Prestwick subdivision and at some point took off all of his clothes,” Lt. Byers said.
“In one of the houses that he broke in to, he did consume a beer while he made himself a meal and watched baseball on their TV,” said Byers.
Gibbs would not tell police why he took his clothes off, or even how he got so far wearing so little.
“He was running pretty fast … not a lot of clothes on, so nothing to weigh him down,” said Davenport.
Gibbs has been charged on numerous counts including two counts of burglary, criminal trespass and impersonating a police officer.
