He's already gone into one lady's house twice. >> Okay. But did you see him naked? >> No, I did not. Okay. You know what? Forget it. I'm at the boat ramp right now, but I'm not going to be here long because I'm going to try and do some way of stopping him. >> Abruptly, Mark hangs up. Lee County dispatchers call back for more information, but Mark is finished talking. Instead, another resident continues the conversation. >> Yeah. Yeah. I just saw suspicious activity, too, and I live here, and I'm tired of this. You need to come do something about it. >> Right. So, we're going to I'm going to ask all of you now for your cooperation.

If it's dark at night and somebody on a bic, sir, you just gave me a piece of information we didn't know. So, he's on a bicycle. That is a big piece of information, right?

If he's trespassing to my house, >> I can't hold him. >> Yes, I can. >> Are you going to listen to me or are you going to argue with me?

According to a Facebook post from the Lee County Sheriff's Office, he was arrested just six months earlier for loitering and prowling after allegedly running naked through an Iona neighborhood. The post also mentions a prior conviction in Montana for indecent exposure. Backup quickly arrives and gets caught up on the current situation.

You injured anywhere? >> No. Other than Pride, I got out. I got outed by [laughter] >> No one to blame but yourself. I tried to I tried to work smarter and they were dead set on working harder. Of course, it's not fair. They had a golf cart. >> According to police records, Janiro caused roughly $300 worth of damage to the lenai. The homeowner Pat ultimately decided to press charges. Reports also state that residents Mark and Dan, as well as Deputy Olegger, were each battered by Janeiro. While Mark requested the battery charges be pursued, Dan and Deputy Ellegger declined to press charges. 30-year-old Janiro Reti was originally charged with misdemeanor probation violation, as well as six felonies, including battery, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, resisting an officer without violence, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernelia, and criminal mischief over $200. Prosecutors later dropped two felony counts, reducing the remaining charges to misdemeanors. After failing to appear at a hearing on August 14th, 2025, a bench warrant was issued, and he was arrested again on October 1st, 2025. He's being held without bond, and the case is still ongoing.
