A trooper was dispatched to a report of a suspicious person on Webb Road in the Town of Willet.  A complainant called 911 after a man wearing nothing but black plastic garbage bags entered the complainant’s home but ultimately left the area. The trooper also located an abandoned vehicle in the ditch off Webb Road.  The trooper ultimately located Wilson behind a residence in a wooded area on State Route 41 in Willet, where he was taken into custody.

A further investigation revealed the vehicle Wilson had crashed was reported stolen from Broome County. Wilson was transported to State Police Homer where he was evaluated by EMT’s.

When troopers and deputies arrived, the man was being detained by a witness that arrived on scene just moments prior.

An investigation revealed that Wilson entered the unlocked residence but did not take anything. He did however, leave his shoes, a baseball cap and a poncho in the home before being confronted by the witness. Wilson was arrested, processed and released on an appearance ticket returnable to the town of Nichols court on February 20.
