Police: Drunk prowler broke in, stole couple’s candy

ALTOONA, Pa.

Police say a central Pennsylvania couple saw a man urinating with his pants down around his ankles moments before he broke into their home and grabbed a handful of Chick-O-Sticks from their candy bowl.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for 29-year-old Earl Munoz, who remained jailed last week.

The Johnstown man faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday for the burglary that Altoona police say occurred shortly after 4:25 a.m. Sept. 13.

The Altoona Mirror reports that the couple first saw Munoz as the husband was leaving to drive his wife to work.

When the husband returned 20 minutes later, he found an open window and a shoeprint on a bucket beneath the window.

The husband reported that only candy was stolen.

Police say Munoz had a Chick-O-Stick wrapper in his pockets — along with two small bags of cocaine.

California nudist camp accused of stealing water

LOS GATOS, Calif.

Officials in Northern California are accusing a nudist resort of stealing water during the state’s historic drought.

The San Jose Mercury News reported that rangers with the Midpeninsula Open Space District descended on Lupin Lodge near Los Gatos on Thursday, saying the clothing- optional resort was illegally taking water from a nearby upstream waterfall.

The resort’s owners say they are entitled to use the waterfall, which they need to keep their water tank full in case of a fire and to top off their pool for both skinny-dipping and as a backup water source for a fire.

No arrests were made or citations issued Thursday, but rangers dismantled a hose leading from the resort to the waterfall.

The resort is on California’s official drought-watch list as one of five communities forced to haul in weekly truckloads of water.
