March 24, 2018

Crestview, FL – A Crestview man held a burglary suspect at gunpoint Thursday night after arriving home from work to find his back door broken in with a cinder block and a strange man showering in his bathroom.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged 28-year old Cameron Tobias of Pensacola with burglary, petty theft, and criminal mischief property damage over $1000.

The victim came back to his home on Regan Drive around 8:45 p.m. Thursday and found his back door damaged. He could hear the shower running and asked who was in the house. He says Tobias replied he was taking a shower. The homeowner got a gun and ordered Tobias, who he did not know, to the ground until deputies arrived.

The defendant apologized for the damage and said he had taken LSD a few hours prior to the break-in.
