Alleged Panty Raid in East Providence

An East Providence man is facing accusations that he filched $120 worth of his neighbor's panties.

The woman arrived home to her apartment on Pawtucket Avenue at 1:22 a.m. Thursday and found that her front door was open, Lt. Armen Garo said. She saw an older white male in her living room. They exchanged words and he walked out, Garo said.

The woman saw the man go into another apartment in the complex, Garo said. She looked around her apartment and discovered that her underwear drawer was open. Upon further investigation, she determined she was missing $120 worth of panties.

She called 911 and police eventually found 11 pairs of panties on the suspect, Garo said. Dow admitted to police that he took the underwear.

"Apparently, he gets gratification from the underwear," Garo said.

Dow has been charged with felony breaking and entering and larceny.
