Fort Payne: Geraldine man who allegedly stole a Fyffe woman's undergarments has been charged with property theft.
Joseph Edward Reaves, 44, was arrested after he turned himself in on Wednesday morning and has been released from the DeKalb County Jail on $500 bond.
Investigator Rhonda Jackson said the woman had hung some of her undergarments outside to dry in mid-December when several items of clothing, including about four pairs of underwear and four bras, were stolen.
Jackson said Reaves has confessed to the crime, and admits he has a problem.
She said he went to an outlet store in Boaz and bought four bras and three or four pairs of underwear to replace the stolen items. He wrapped the new undergarments in Christmas wrapping, then left the package for the victim.
Jackson said Reaves has been arrested for the same type of offenses in the past.
She said Reaves, who has a fetish for women's undergarments especially bras, was being very cooperative.
