(10-15) 18:19 PDT Hillsboro, Ore. (AP) --
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.
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.
