When a man returned to his Arizona home, he noticed his dog barking at a closet.

That stranger, identified as 34-year-old Michael Zabalza Ruelas, allegedly had lotion, a picture of the homeowner’s 16-year-old daughter and her underwear inside the closet, police said.

The homeowner threatened to hit Ruelas with a crowbar, the court document alleges, and the 34-year-old sprinted out of the house. But before he was able to drive away in his grey van, the wife of the unnamed man managed to snap a picture of the car’s license plate.

She gave police a description of the van and its license plate number, while her husband noticed a photograph of his teen daughter, a pair of her underwear and a bottle of lotion. According to the court document, none of those objects were in the closet before the family left their house unattended.

Police say they eventually pulled over Ruelas’ grey van and arrested him.

Ruelas allegedly told police that he broke into the house by crawling through a window, and then went through various laundry baskets in the house to collect underwear.

He said he was already in the closet when the family returned home, the court document says, and that he kept some of the underwear after he ran out of the house and kept it in his grey van.

Ruelas was charged with a single count of second-degree burglary, AZFamily reported, and was given a bond of $3,500.
 
burglarly that's it???
travesty.

Yep this fucking creep is going to be out and about after paying a fine and doing some community service. Then he will be able to stalk and fill his hearts desire with this 16 year old girl. Or some other unknowing 16 year old girl for that matter.

If I was this girls dad I would definitely have a loaded gun on hand for the near future.

I agree, but what would the charge be? Who knew we needed a "beating off in a teenager's closet " law?

I'm betting he's also a peeping Tom, he didn't pick the place at random.
 
In May 2018, Michael Ruelas was sentenced to 2 years for "Drug Paraphernalia Violation" and it appears the other charges were dropped from the case that brought him to our attention, BUT between the time that Ruelas was arrested for closet caper and his sentencing, he was arrested in October 2019 and convicted in November 2020 for "Dangerous Drug Violation". He received a 2 year 6 month sentence for that.

He is currently resting in the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence, Arizona and is scheduled to be release in February 2022.
