58 year old Frank Blease is in jail tonight after he was caught by some dogs trying to steal a laundry basket full of clothes. Blease claims that he was simply helping Lake I resident Deseree Hemsley to move some items out of her house and misplaced a basketful of clothes.
A likely story, since Hemsley woke to the sound of her dogs barking after midnight on Tuesday. She saw the dogs around a golden plum tree in her yard and Blease was up inside the tree with the basket full of clothes at the foot of the tree.
Police came and arrested him on spot. Blease pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 6 months in jail plus an additional six months for a pending fine of $450 for a conviction of theft last year.
