Man found sitting on toilet inside house said he was thinking of buying it but had to try it out first

Found sitting on a toilet inside a house for sale, a 23-year-old Florida man had a simple explanation for police, he was thinking of buying the home but had to try it out first. Police didn’t buy the explanation and charged him with burglary.
An officer said he received a call about a suspicious man with no shirt and white shorts walking to the rear of a house for sale in Tavares. The man passed through a gated privacy fence and did not exit the property, a neighbor said. The officer said he entered the pool area behind the house after arriving on the scene and opened what he thought was a closet.
It was a bathroom, and the man, later identified as Corey Lee Ramsey, was sitting on the toilet with his shorts around his ankles. Ramsey told the officer “he had been reading books on the topic of purchasing homes, and he wanted to try this one out first before buying,” according to an arrest affidavit.
The four-bedroom, three-bath home has a $299,450 asking price. Police said the homeowner was out of town at the time but would be back shortly. Ramsey remains in his new home at the Lake County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.
