Fresno - Authorities say they've arrested a man who broke into the home of two California farmworkers, stole money, rubbed one of the men with spices and whacked the other with a sausage before fleeing.
Fresno County sheriff's Lt Ian Burrimond says 22-year-old Antonio Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack.
He says deputies arrested Vasquez after finding a wallet containing his ID in the ransacked house.
The farmworkers told deputies the suspect woke them on Saturday morning by rubbing spices on one of them and smacking the other with a 20cm sausage.
Burrimond says money allegedly stolen was recovered.
