Brevard man tells police he stole dozens of pool floats to use for sex

A man who was found by police in Palm Bay with 75 pool floats said he’d stolen them for sex instead of raping women, according to an arrest affidavit. Christopher Monnin, 35, is charged with burglary, criminal mischief and petit theft. According to an arrest affidavit, officers arrested Monnin on Thursday with a garbage bag full of deflated pool floats. He then led police to a vacant home where they found a total of 75 floats. Police said that for seven months, somebody has been cutting pool screens at Palm Bay homes and only stealing pool floats. According to the affidavit, Monnin told police that he “sexually gratifies himself with the pool floats instead of raping women,” the affidavit said.
