- Pinellas Park police identified and arrested Joshua Neal Garrison, 23, who now faces charges including armed residential burglary, two counts of residential burglary, lewd behavior, criminal mischief, and probation violations.
- Home security video shows a naked intruder roaming backyards, exposing himself, trying doors and windows, and pressing against a sliding glass door while residents slept.
- One homeowner said the suspect took an axe from a shed and returned to the porch, while others reported a smashed truck window, torn-off lights, and other damage.
- Video reviewed by residents indicates the suspect hid in a shed for about two and a half hours during an active police search before exiting through a side gate.
