Security footage captured Lonnie Maddox, 52, nicknamed 'The Rooster,' walking around outside the victim's property on Thursday morning. He was accompanied by a horse named Angel.
A Florida man was arrested this week on burglary charges after he rode a horse to break into a house in New Port Richey.
As Angel wandered away, Maddox can be seen opening the property's screened porch, before then attempting to unlock the front door. Maddox eventually decided the approach was futile and opted to enter through a back window, according to deputies.— the owner of the house, Steve Ferguson, noticed the commotion on the security cameras and called authorities to report the incident.Maddox approached the police officers when they arrived to ask if they had seen his horse.
After Maddox's arrest, police conducted a background check on the accused and found that he had previously been found guilty of car theft, drug possession and domestic battery.
