Port Charlotte man arrested after falling into stranger's pool

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. —

The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office arrested a man after he fell into a stranger's pool in Port Charlotte.

Charlotte County deputies reported that Christopher Zubrycky, 43, claimed to be a CIA agent after reportedly drinking vodka on Thursday afternoon and forgetting where he lived, leading him to a stranger's home on Monet Avenue instead of his own on Winsom Avenue.

A couple living on Monet Ave. said a stranger knocked on their door asking to stay for a few days. They told him to go bother someone else, but Zubrycky is accused of making his way inside their lanai.

Rusty Simplex, a resident, remarked, "I would shove my boot so far up his [expletive] he would be tasting leather."

The couple called 911, and moments later, they heard a splash as the stranger fell through their pool cover into the water. An affidavit said he then climbed out of the pool and knocked on the back door, asking for French fries and a towel.

Simplex questioned, "Was he the naked? No, no. No, thank God, you don't want to be seeing them peckers there in your backyard."

Deputies found Zubrycky sitting on a chair by the pool. They said he told them he held his breath underwater for three minutes.

They arrested Zubrycky for trespassing, disorderly intoxication, and resisting a deputy without violence.
