Cops: Underwear-clad man broke windshield

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., May 11 (UPI) -- Police in Port St. Lucie, Fla., arrested a 42-year-old underwear-clad man for allegedly busting a neighbor's car windshield with an axe handle.

In a police affidavit released Monday officers said that when they responded to a complaint at 3 a.m. Sunday they found Nicholas T. Doud walking around in his underwear near a vehicle with a smashed windshield and a flattened rear tire, TCPalm.com said.

Arresting officers said that inside the damaged vehicle was an ax handle with "Walking small -- your face here" written on it in black marker.

Doud told police his fingerprints would likely be found on the ax handle, but denied having any knowledge of how the car's windshield became smashed, officers said.

When asked why he was only wearing underwear officers said Doud, "stated that he likes to walk around in his underwear and that he does this often."

TCPalm.com said Doud's wife said he was a paranoid schizophrenic, and that they had trouble with the neighbors because of Doud's loud guitar playing.

Doud was taken to jail and booked on a charge of criminal mischief.
