The sheriff's office said Moulin is believed to be the main buyer and reseller of goods stolen by the ''Droopy Drawers Bandits" -- a group of thieves that earned the nickname after one young man was caught on a security camera with his pants sagging down to expose his underpants. The group is suspected in about 100 burglaries beginning in December 2007.

One of the group's alleged leaders, James Baker, 19, has been arrested in Atlanta, while his suspected partner in crime, Tyvon Elisias, 20, is still being sought. A 17-year-old alleged member of the group has also been arrested.

Naboulsi was released on bail.
