DEBARY, Fla. - Deputies in Florida said a bloodied man covered in grease was arrested after breaking into two DeBary homes overnight.
Deputies said they responded to reports of a burglary in progress at a home on Highbanks Road in DeBary around 2 a.m. Friday where a man had smashed out the windows of one house, then left to break into another home.
The man, later identified as 34-year-old Blake Tokman was spotted naked in the backyard of the second home by a deputy. Tokman took off running before he jumped into a pool, then climbed out and leapt onto a trampoline.
