Trouserless trespasser found asleep in German retirement home turns out to be US soldier

A retirement home in this Army garrison town got quite a kick in the pants over the weekend: a drunk American soldier who wasn’t wearing any.

The unidentified soldier was found sleeping in an unoccupied room Sunday by an employee who had been delivering breakfast to residents, an Eschenbach police statement said.

Investigators described the soldier as “heavily intoxicated” and wearing only a sports jersey and underwear, several local media outlets reported.

The soldier couldn’t say how he ended up at the retirement home, according to authorities, who said he may have entered the facility during a shift change.

The incident drew widespread attention across the U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria community, with many members sharing the story on social media.

The garrison referred questions about the unit and identity of the soldier to the 173rd Airborne Brigade.

“We are working in close cooperation with our host nation partners to investigate the incident,” brigade spokeswoman Capt. Jennifer French said Tuesday. “The soldier is with their unit, and we await the investigation’s findings before determining next steps.”

Authorities did not report any injuries or damages from the incident.

Investigators also are examining a possible connection between the soldier and a stolen license plate reported around the same nursing home, Eschenbach police said. The suspect in that case was also seen wearing a soccer jersey.

A civilian spokeswoman for the garrison, Kayla Overton, said military police officers often patrol popular spots for soldiers in the off-base Grafenwoehr area.

The patrols are aimed at preventing crimes and helping disoriented or intoxicated soldiers return to their residence, Overton said.

As for how the soldier lost his trousers, the mystery persists.

Man accused of posing as FBI agent in apparent attempt to spring Luigi Mangione from prison

A Minnesota man was charged Thursday with impersonating an FBI agent after he showed up at a federal prison in New York City claiming to have a court order to release an inmate, identified by a law enforcement source as accused killer Luigi Mangione.

Mark Anderson, 35, was arrested at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn late Wednesday after prison workers asked to see his credentials and he produced a Minnesota driver’s license and “claimed to be in possession of weapons,” according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Anderson also claimed “that he was an FBI Agent in possession of paperwork ‘signed by a judge’ authorizing the release of a specific inmate,” the complaint says.

The court document does not name the inmate.

“Anderson also displayed and threw at [Bureau of Prisons] officers numerous documents,” the complaint says. “They appear to be related to filing claims against the United States Department of Justice.”

In his backpack, BOP workers found a barbecue fork and a “round steel blade” that resembled a pizza cutter.

Anderson had traveled to New York from Minnesota for a job opportunity that didn’t work out, and he had been working at a pizzeria, the law enforcement source said.

Anderson was ordered detained Thursday after a magistrate judge found that he posed a flight risk, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York said.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, Anderson is housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

His court-appointed federal public defender did not respond to a request for comment.

Mangione, 27, has been at the federal lockup in Brooklyn since December 2024, after he was arrested and accused of ambushing and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan.

Charged in New York with second-degree murder, Mangione has also been charged with four federal counts: two of stalking, one of murder and one of using a firearm to commit murder.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in April that the government would seek the death penalty for “an act of political violence” and a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”

Then, in August, federal prosecutors argued in a filing that Mangione poses a threat to the public because he is actively seeking to influence others to follow in his footsteps.

“Simply put, the defendant hoped to normalize the use of violence to achieve ideological or political objectives,” they said in the document. “Since the murder, certain quarters of the public — who openly identify as acolytes of the defendant — have increasingly begun to view violence as an acceptable, or even necessary, substitute for reasoned political disagreement.”

Since his arrest, Mangione’s legal defense fund has raised more than a million dollars in donations as people angry with the country’s for-profit medical system have voiced their support.

Carbon County sheriff’s deputy accused of playing cornhole without pants in driveway

An employee with the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office has been scheduled to appear in court after he was accused of playing cornhole without pants in his driveway.

Rick Adams, 62, was charged with obstruction of justice, a class A misdemeanor; and lewdness, a class B misdemeanor.

His court date has been scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2.

Charging documents state that Adam was seen in his driveway on Aug. 7, 2025, playing cornhole, “without any pants or underwear on.”

The court documents did not state whether he was wearing any other clothes.

When an officer responded to investigate the situation, they said Adams reportedly provided a false video he claimed to be of the incident to prove his innocence.

“[Adams], in fact, made the video after the incident and lied about it to investigating officers,” the documents state.

On July 19, 2018, the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office recognized Adams for being a “great asset” to the community.

“Rick is a great asset to our community and our Sheriff’s Office family,” they said at the time. “Thank you Sgt. Adams for your commitment to Carbon County!”
