Damon Michael Miljour, a 36-year-old Florida man, was jailed Thursday after he allegedly stole several items from a surf shop before polishing the pavement with his face while fleeing the scene.
According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the area of Bonita Beach road Thursday after witnesses called to report a motorcycle crash.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found a black Harley Davidson motorcycle lying on the road with an obviously injured Miljour nearby.
Investigators say Miljour was rushed to Lee Memorial Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
Deputies also noticed something suspicious while processing the scene.
Several retail items which appeared brand new with the store's retail tag still intact.
Among the items, deputies found sunglasses, wrist watches and high end shoes.
Deputies checked out the store, Mango Bay, and discovered that a side window to the shop had been smashed out.
Inside the store, several merchandise items were scattered as if someone had rummaged through the merchandise looking for items of value to steal.
Deputies contacted a store manager who confirmed that the items belonged to his shop and had not been purchased.
The total value of the stolen items was estimated at $10,000.
Detectives then visited Miljour in the hospital, who claimed he didn't remember anything before waking up in the hospital.
Miljour was booked into jail and charged with burglary, DUI and grand theft.
