MARTIN COUNTY — A nude man covered in feces broke into someone’s backyard and jumped into the pool Saturday, according to a Martin County Sheriff’s Office report.

Robert Stark Higgins, 21, of the 5300 block of Southeast Dell Street, Stuart, was charged with burglary to an occupied dwelling, disorderly conduct and misdemeanor theft. He was being held at the Martin County Jail in lieu of $10,500 bail.

A resident in the 9000 block of Southeast Nero Street told deputies he heard Higgins crash through the screen of his pool and take a splash about 9 p.m. Saturday. The resident recognized Higgins as someone he had seen in the neighborhood, the arrest affidavit said. Higgins took a towel and fled, the report said.

Deputies used a K-9 to track Higgins to a home in the 9000 block of Athena Street. Higgins told deputies he had been drinking beer and vodka, according to the affidavit.
