Font Resize Burglar rubs spices on sleeping man, whacks another with a sausage and a dog eats the evidence By Louis Galvan Fresno Bee Article Launched: 09/08/2008 11:11:25 AM PDT FRESNO, Calif. 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. Burrimond said deputies headed to the victims' home near Kings Canyon Road shortly after 8 am 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.
