A sex-toy-wielding Florida man dressed in drag was arrested Tuesday for trying to break into a stranger’s home in the early hours of the morning.
Marshall Jones, 40, was first spotted stalking outside the St. Petersburg home around 1:30 a.m. Dec. 15 as the female homeowner slept inside, according to an arrest affidavit.
Video caught a man, later identified as Jones, wearing a dress and carrying what “appeared to be an erect penis in his hand” rattling the door in an attempt to yank it open.
“[Jones] is then seen pressing the erect penis against the door before walking away,” court documents state.
Four days later, police tracked down the accused burglar, who allegedly admitted to creeping around the house.

Jones told investigators he was merely checking in on the woman’s “welfare” after having seen someone else get shot at the house just two weeks earlier, court documents show.
As for the sex toy, Jones allegedly relented that he was carrying one but that it had “slipped out” when he approached the door.
He was taken into custody, but put up a brief fight, the charges indicate.
Jones was booked into the Pinellas County Jail for stalking, attempted burglary and resisting arrest.
He is being held on a $10,150 bond.
