Man accused of stealing sex dolls
Calling it a "drunken, stupid thing," a DeForest man admitted breaking
into a town of Burke sex shop last month and stealing several blow-up
sex dolls, among them a $270 model that talks.
Jose
A. Sandoval, 26, led detectives to spots where he had stashed the dolls
and other items he allegedly took from Naughty Novelties, 6011 Highway
51, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in Dane County
Circuit Court.
Sandoval was charged with burglary for allegedly
taking such things as sex dolls, thong underwear and lotion in the Nov.
10 break-in, according to the complaint. Naughty Novelties co-owner
Roger Hellenbrand told police, however, that none of the money in the
store had been touched.
According to the complaint:
Using
surveillance video from the shop, Dane County Sheriff's Office
detectives were able to see a large man get out of a
distinctive-looking General Motors car, smash through a front door,
grab items from the shop and drive off.
About 10 days later, a
sheriff's detective noticed a car with similar distinctive features,
which included a missing hubcap and a taped-up front passenger window,
parked behind the Truckers Inn, 6162 Highway 51, not far from Naughty
Novelties.
When detectives stopped the car a short time later,
the driver, identified as Sandoval, at first denied committing the
burglary. Then he began to cry. Asked where the stolen items were, he
said, "hidden away."
Sandoval took detectives to the cab and
sleeping compartment of an abandoned semi-trailer truck behind the
Truckers Inn and a marshy area next to the motel's parking lot.
Among
the items that were found was a Linn Thomas talking love doll, priced
at $269.99, which is shaped to resemble the porn star of the same name.
According to one review by an Internet retailer, the 5-foot-3-inch doll
vibrates and blurts out recorded encouragements to its user.
