Deputies investigating a possible break-in at an Oregon rock museum were surprised when they stumbled upon a man concealed on the ground by a moss-like camouflage outfit.
The hidden suspect cried out when a search dog bit him before daylight hours Thursday in a wooded area outside the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals, said Sgt. David Thompson, spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Police identified the man, dubbed "Moss Man" on the Internet, as 36-year-old Gregory Liascos of Portland, and arrested him on burglary and criminal mischief charges.
Sheriff's officials say nothing was stolen from the museum, a popular tourist attraction just west of Portland that is home to gemstones, minerals, fossils and meteorites. But they allege Liascos had secretly cut a hole in one of the building's walls days earlier and was trying to get in.
