A man was arrested for stealing tools from a home under construction in North Fort Myers, with the homeowner in a trailer on the lot.
LCSO said Damon Ash went to the property along Touchstone Road on Aug. 21 and was spotted by a neighbor leaving the lot with the owner's toolbox.
The neighbor says he found the toolbox and brought it back, but Ash was nowhere to be found until he came back about a half hour later.
Once spotted, Ash ran off, but was tracked down by deputies.
Deputies noticed he popped a couple of pills as they were going up to him.
Ash told deputies he had been sleeping under a trailer on the victim's property for the past few days but denied taking any tools.
Sheriff's office officials said the tools were found in bushes nearby.
