Florida man accused of breaking into multiple homes, eating victim’s food

According to Click Orlando

A Florida man went on a crime spree that involved him breaking into three homes and stealing two vehicles before he was caught yelling in someone’s yard, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said the first call about Christopher Pennington, 47, came early Wednesday morning from a 73-year-old man who said he was sleeping when he heard some noise and woke up to find Pennington rummaging through his closet.

Pennington pushed the victim to the ground as he went to confront him then continued rummaging through the house until he stole the victim’s truck and fled the scene, records show.

Deputies said one of those victims caught him in the act because her fridge alarm started going off and it woke her up. She got out of bed and went to the kitchen expecting to see her son but instead saw Pennington eating her food, records show.

At that point, deputies said Pennington stole a truck that belongs to the victim’s son and fled the home.

A third victim also reported that her apartment had been burglarized and several items were stolen, authorities said.

Deputies said they located Pennington after they received complaints about a man yelling in a yard. The victims were able to identify him as the man they saw in their homes, records show.
