PETALUMA (CBS SF) -- Police arrested a man after finding nearly 500 pairs of women's underwear in his bedroom during a burglary investigation in Petaluma Tuesday afternoon.
Benjamin Hawkins, 18, allegedly entered a residence on Marilyn Circle at 3:30 p.m. and stole two firearms, one which was converted into a sawed-off shotgun, according to the Petaluma Police Department.
After officers obtained consent to search the Hawkin's bedroom, police found women's jewelry and about 500 pairs of women's underwear.
