FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. - A Florida man was taken to jail after he allegedly burglarized a mini golf course while wearing only underwear.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened last week at the Smuggler's Cove Adventure Golf in Fort Myers Beach. 

On Sept 13, shortly after 4:30 a.m., deputies responded to the mini golf course because the company's alarm had activated.

At the scene, deputies heard loud banging noises and a man talking.

They soon came across 38-year-old Francisco Fortin Mayorga, who was wearing nothing but underwear, according to an arrest report. He appeared "aggressive" and "in an altered mental state" and was sweating, the report stated.

On the property, deputies observed several broken decorations, a broken door window, a door that had been forced open, along with a broken fire extinguisher.

Two other fire extinguishers appeared to be missing as they were not located inside their proper containers, deputies said.

Deputies reviewed video surveillance which showed Mayorga arriving at the property and "maliciously" ripping down signs, breaking a window and gate, ripping down a motion detector – causing approximately $490 in damages.

He was arrested and taken into the Lee County jail on multiple charges, including burglary and criminal mischief.
