Naked female intruder eats canned pineapples in Florida woman's house Fox News Facebook Twitter Comments Print Email
A Florida woman was shocked last week when she was confronted with a naked intruder in her house -- eating pineapple.
Mary Hamilton, 63, told deputies she went inside the St. Augustine home on Oct. 5 because “the door was open for me to come inside,” St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office told News4Jax .
After the homeowner discovered the nude intruder eating canned pineapple, she retreated to her car and called police.
Hamilton reportedly went inside the home, seized a shirt that belonged to the homeowner’s son and consumed some leftovers from the refrigerator, deputies said.
It was not immediately clear if Hamilton and the homeowner knew each other, but deputies determined the two live about a half-mile from one another.
Hamilton was taken to St. John’s County Jail where she was charged with burglary and theft or larceny.

I don't see the burglary charge. Unless the door was not open, and she intended to commit a felony. Is it a felony in Florida to eat someone else's canned fruit? How about swiping a t-shirt? Floridians?
Even if the the door was open the woman had no business to enter the house. But the being naked and eating pineapple makes me think the intruder should be in the happy hotel along with trees and flowers and chirping birds and the basket weavers who sit and twiddle their thumbs. Hee! Hee!
Right? If you want to build the insanity defense, the first step is to commit the crime without pants.
Which reminds me. Saw a video on youtube, of some pranksters. Guy was picking fights, and when he succeeded in getting someone to come at him, he'd drop his pants. Seems like there were at least 10 different clips, and all of the marks threw their hands up and went the other direction. May be useful information for those who find themselves in a tight situation.
Umm....yeah it is
She's just lucky the homeowner didn't exercise another Florida statute....called the Castle Doctrine
There you go. You just gotta be there without permission, on outside of the scope thereof, with the intent to commit an offense.
No breaking required. Novel argument. Does leaving the front door open signify that the house is open to the public?
Not unless you're showing your house to sale it....otherwise it's NOT open to the public
I don't see the burglary charge. Unless the door was not open
Sorry but an opened door is NOT an invitation to enter a house. It's still burglary since she took something that wasn't hers.
However before this is finished, I suspect she will be declared to have mental issues and released for treatment.
And what if she ate fresh Pineapple instead of canned?
Or, for that matter-- what if she had eaten canned Tangerines instead of Pineapple? Or-- canned Guava Paste.
These sort of details must also be taken into consideration when deciding her guilt or innocence anmd the severity of her pinishment
Especially for deciding if she would be declared not mentally capable of forming mens rea. i.e.- being a candidate for the loony bin. They probably serve canned pineapple there.
