Naked Man Arrested for Breaking Into Neighbor's Home in Palm Coast

A 63-year-old Palm Coast, Florida man, Matthew Hunter, was arrested after attempting to break into his neighbor's home while naked, earning the nickname 'birthday suit bandit' from authorities. The incident occurred just after midnight when the victim reported hearing noises at her door, which deputies later found to have gouge marks, suggesting an attempt to cut through the lock. Officers arrived to find Hunter walking away from the scene without clothes, and he was charged with attempted burglary, exposure of sex organs, and criminal mischief. Hunter's wife told deputies he had been drinking heavily and taking psychiatric medication, and she was unaware he had left the house. Hunter was detained but later released on bond. The case highlights concerns about public safety and mental health in such incidents.
