Naked man arrested after sneaking into Collier County home, masturbating & touching woman

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — A naked homeless man was arrested after sneaking into a woman’s Collier County home and touching her while he masturbated early Sunday morning.

According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), deputies responded to a burglary at around 3:55 a.m. A woman told deputies she was lying in bed when a naked man she didn’t know was masturbating by the side of her bed and trying to grab her. The victim told the man to stop touching her and pushed his hand away multiple times. She said he was trying to keep her quiet and not let deputies know he was there. She said her back slider door was open and that the man could’ve shimmied through it or crawled through a doggy door at the side of the home.

When deputies entered the home, a naked man identified as Carlos Lozanos-Lara, 22, ran from the dining room to a bathroom and tried to hide in a bathtub.

A deputy tried to handcuff Lozanos-Lara but he pulled away and ripped them from an officer’s hands, throwing them on the ground. After struggling multiple times to put the handcuffs on the man, the deputy took him to the ground while he continued to resist, CCSO said.

During the scuffle, Lozanos-Lara kicked a deputy and tried biting his arm. He eventually was put into handcuffs and leg shackles. While being taken to the patrol vehicle, he tried to grab a deputy’s Taser from the holster but was unsuccessful.

Lozanos-Lara was charged with:

• sexual assault
• burglary
• resisting an officer with violence
• battery on a person 65 years of age or older

He was taken to the Naples Jail.
