This Is What You To Do A Sock Thief?

In 1993, Dowdy received a three-year-prison sentence for attempted burglary after police caught him with a bag of stolen socks.
Damn. Three years for that? But wait ...
[In 1997] ... Dowdy was sentenced to six-years in prison for breaking into another woman's home and stealing socks...
Okay. This is surely the strangest life of crime I have ever seen. But wait ...
In 2004, Dowdy, received a seven-year prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to walking into a female neighbor's home and taking her socks.
And just recently ...
Dowdy ... was charged with residential burglary, a class X felony. He's accused of stealing a pair of socks early Monday morning from a victim's basement.
His bail? $100,000! All the socks out there can relax. Mr. Dowdy is in jail, as he was unable to post bail. If there's not more to this story, then, damn!
