MEDFORD, Ore. -- A registered sex offender who fashioned a loin cloth from a rope and piece of lawn furniture has been arrested near a Medford high school.
Police say Kelly Bailey asked four girls for a ride to the mall or a motel.
The 33-year-old from Greenwater, Wash., was wearing only the rope when he shocked a Medford woman by appearing in her back yard Thursday morning. Police say before he left, Bailey, who appeared to be covered in feces, ran away with a strip of leopard-print vinyl peeled from the seat of a lawn chair.
More than an hour later, four North Medford High School girls were waiting in a car near the school. Bailey, now wearing blue jeans but still covered in the apparent fecal matter, approached the car.
Police say the girls wisely left and alerted police. Bailey is being held on $24,000 bail.
