Loitering, prowling. A Davenport, Florida man was arrested after attempting to enter people's homes in a local subdivision.

The Sheriff's Office received multiple phone calls that a man carrying plastic grocery store bags was going door to door in the development. When a deputy arrived to investigate, he saw a man matching the suspect's description walking out of the development. 

The suspect told the deputy he was was a resident, but couldn't remember which home was his, according to an arrest report. He said his phone was dead also so he could not find his address. 

The deputy directed the man to a nearby gas station to charge his phone and let him go for the time being. After the suspect left, though, the deputy received complaints from several residents the man had tried to open their front doors without permission, including two residents with video evidence.

The deputy caught up to the suspect to complete a trespass form against him. After reviewing the video evidence, the suspect was arrested.

The suspect said he attempted to enter the homes to see if, by the layout and furniture, he could tell if the home was his.

The suspect was issued a trespass warning by Sheriff's Office deputies from the property just seven hours earlier, according to the suspect's arrest report. Employees called deputies back when the man returned to dig through the ashtrays and garbage cans.

Deputies searched the suspect and found a pipe, an unopened can of beer and multiple lighters. The suspect was taken to the county jail.
