Lt. Ian Burrimond, describing the crime as one of the strangest he's ever heard of, said a suspect was found hiding in a nearby field a few minutes later and taken into custody on suspicion of residential robbery. Deputies, he said, had no problem linking the suspect to the crime. "It seems the guy ran out of the house wearing only a T-shirt, boxer shorts and socks, leaving behind his wallet with his ID," Burrimond said. Arrested was Antonio Vasquez, 22, of Fresno. Burrimond said deputies headed to the victims' home in the 300 block of South Thompson Avenue near Kings Canyon Road shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday regarding a burglary in progress. The victims, both farmworkers, told deputies they were awakened by a stranger applying spices to one of them and striking the other with a sausage. Both the spices and the sausage, Burrimond said, reportedly were obtained from the victims' kitchen. After the man fled, the victims discovered the home had been ransacked and that some money was taken, Burrimond said. Burrimond said the money was recovered, but that the piece of sausage used in the attack was discarded by the suspect and eaten by a dog. "That's right, the dog ate the weapon," Burrimond said. "I tell you, this was one weird case." The reporter can be reached at lgalvan@fresnobee.com or (559) 441-6139. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

lawrocket 3 #5 September 8, 2008 That's my Fresno! Dave - I've noticed you are digging for strange crimes from the Central Valley. Last week was self amputation of an arm at a Denny's in Modesto. What's next week? A ciabatta attack at a Jack in the Box in Chowchilla? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
