Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office jailed a man following an alleged burglary incident in Winchester Bay which was discovered Monday.

A DCSO report said at 10:00 p.m. a victim called to say that three hours earlier she located a man sleeping in their 50-foot boat in the 800 block of Beach Boulevard. The suspect, determined to be 46-year old Sanford Haines, apologized and left the area.

It was determined that Haines allegedly pillaged the boat of about $200 worth of food, plugged up both toilets with feces, filled three jugs with urine and slept in one of the beds for multiple nights.

A deputy located Haines sleeping in a marina bathroom and took him into custody. He was charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree counts of theft and trespass and a third-degree count of criminal mischief. Haines was held without bail.
