MORGANTON, N.C. - Police captured a man wearing only a toga while he sped away in a car with women's underwear inside. Michael Sean Ostrander, 33, was arrested Monday after allegedly breaking into the home of a Burke County woman and making off with some of her clothes.
The woman told police she was visiting a neighbor when she heard her burglar alarm go off and saw a man flee in a car.
The woman gave chase and called the police, with the state Highway Patrol and local officers joining the pursuit along North Carolina Highway 181.
According to the patrol, Ostrander was arrested near the Burke-Avery county line after stopping his car. The Burke County Sheriff's Office said it found panties and photos belonging to the woman inside Ostrander's car.
Ostrander is charged with breaking, entering and larceny, possession of stolen goods and speeding to avoid arrest - all felonies.
He spent four years in prison following a 2001 conviction in Catawba County on a second-degree rape charge.
A judge on Wednesday set a probable cause hearing for next month.
