    Authorities: Suspected burglar nabbed fresh from shower
    CITIZEN STAFF
    A Miami man was jailed Tuesday after police said he ransacked a home in New Town, swiped a laptop and fled on foot to Stock Island -- where he surprised a woman by turning up in her bathroom wearing only a towel.

    Zelvion Thomas Jr., 22, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, theft and criminal mischief and booked into the Stock Island jail.

    For a couple of hours Tuesday morning, police say Thomas led them on an odd chase that started on Eagle Avenue, headed to some shops on U.S. 1 on Stock Island and went through some mangroves before ending up at a woman's home on Balido Street at about 12 p.m.

    "When she confronted him, he told her he'd not stolen anything," Deputy Becky Herrin said in a statement. "He told her he'd just showered in her bathroom."

    Facing a barking K9 dog and two police officers, Thomas reportedly surrendered when caught in the backyard of the Balido Street home.

    Thomas "immediately dove onto the ground with his hands extended out," Officer Thomas Anglin wrote in a report released Wednesday.

    Thomas is accused of stealing about $2,300 worth of items from a man's home in 3600 block of Eagle Avenue, including a Dell Inspiron 17-inch laptop, a Canon digital camera, two watches, two pairs of Sperry loafers, some Perry Ellis cuff links, a three-pack of Calvin Klein underwear and a three-pack of Polo undershirts.

    The stolen goods were found left behind the WeCycle bike shop, 5160 U.S. 1, inside a bright yellow Kai-Kai sandals bag, police said.

    The resident of the burglarize Eagle Avenue home identified all of the items as his, Officer Kuniko Keohane wrote.

    Earlier Tuesday, another officer said he spotted a man carrying a bright yellow Kai Kai bag -- with a laptop sticking out of the top -- while walking northbound on U.S. 1.

    When the man noticed the police officer he "immediately began running away from him," Keohane wrote, and ran behind WeCycle before cutting through a yard, jumping a concrete wall and then entering a patch of mangroves.

    The man then stripped off two shirts and put them in the yellow bag, which he left behind, and entered the mangroves, police said.

    Key West police and Monroe County Sheriff deputies set up perimeters throughout the foot pursuit.

    The Key West police K-9 dog, Ben, assisted in tracking down the suspect.

    Thomas reportedly left his orange bicycle behind on Eagle Avenue. The bike was tracked to Boyd's Key West Campground, where an employee said he had sold one to a "young, tall, thin black male," Keohane wrote.

    The employee later identified Thomas as the bike buyer, police said.

    Police: Pier injury caused by drunkenness
    BY GWEN FILOSA Citizen Staff
    gfilosa@keysnews.com
    The man airlifted to Miami after falling from the White Street Pier on Wednesday was allegedly drunk and belligerent before falling asleep atop the seawall Wednesday morning, according to police.

    “I believe [the man] was under the influence of alcohol,” wrote Officer Gustavo Medina in an incident report released Thursday. 

    The 57-year-old homeless man remained in critical condition Thursday and also unidentified by Key West police. Officers found his birth certificate and a copy of his Alabama’s driver’s license in a backpack left at the pier — but other pieces of identification were also found. 

    “It’s just not clear and we don’t release names until next-of-kin has been notified,” said spokeswoman Alyson Crean. 

    Out of respect for the man’s family, who police have yet to locate, the name was redacted from the police report, Crean said. 

    He remained in critical condition Thursday, but that was all the city could confirm, Crean said. He was flown by LifeNet Wednesday from the pier to a Miami hospital in critical condition.

    Police arrived at the pier at about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday to find the man face down in the shallow, rocky water below one edge of the pier, according to the incident report police released Thursday. 

    Two men were holding the injured man’s head above the water, police said. “We were able to see short, shallow breathing coming from the male face down,” Medina wrote. “The individual was not alert and unresponsive to our voices.”

    A plastic Skol vodka bottle was found in the water near the area where the injured man fell, police said. Officers also found a fresh, cold six pack of Busch beer inside a backpack that was attached to the man’s green Nerve bicycle, the report stated.

    David Keller, 58, of Key West, told police he noticed a man sleeping on the wall at the end of the pier at about 10 a.m.

    Fifteen minutes later, Keller said he looked up and saw the man was missing from the pier. He went over to the wall’s edge and saw the man face down in the rocks and water, police reported.

    Two other men went over the rail and grabbed the fallen man, lifting and holding his head above the water until help arrived. 

    The injured man was estimated to be 6-foot, 2-inches and at least 220 pounds, police said. 

    Randall Ferrell, 59, of Parkersburg, W. Va., and his brother-in-law David Russell, 54, of Cutler, Ohio, were the two men who jumped over the wall once they realized a man was in the water, police reported.

    The injured man earlier had been on the pier acting “belligerent, and began yelling and cursing at people before he fell asleep,” two homeless men told police.
