Bloomfield Township police were dispatched to a home in the 4000 block of Echo at 3 p.m. on April 10, according to a report released Thursday. Inside, they found Daniel Elliot, 53, of Rochester Hills, a former family member who had allegedly broken into the home while the family was on vacation.

Weise said the amount of damage suggested Elliot had been in the home for a “significant amount of time.” The $50,000 damage figure is a “rough estimate,” he said.

Weise didn’t speculate about why Elliot had taken off his clothes.

Elliot was arrested at the scene. He was arraigned Wednesday on charges of second-degree home invasion and malicious destruction of property. He remains in the Oakland County Jail on $50,000 bond.
