In Crossville, Tenn., a man and woman asked if the woman could take a skinny dip, and then the man said he was leaving to get cigarettes, according to the Crossville Police Department.
But while the woman swam naked and the distracted homeowner watched, someone robbed the home of nearly $1,000 in jewelry, cash, a handgun and prescription drugs, police said.
According to ABC News affiliate in Nashville, Tenn., News 2, the incident happened on June 27. The victim, Stephen Amaral, 54, said he gave the 30-something woman a towel when she was done swimming. “I escorted her outside and invited her to church, but she said she didn’t have time for that, she wasn’t ready for that,” Amaral told News 2.Amaral told News 2 he formerly used the handgun as a Mississippi deputy.
When quizzed how an ex-law enforcement expert could be so easily robbed, Amaral was quoted as saying “nip it nip it in the bud”.
