MARTIN COUNTY — A shirtless Palm City man is accused of breaking into cars in Sawgrass Villas Condominiums.

William Rosselle, 18, of the 3400 block of Southwest Sawgrass Villas Drive, was accused of breaking into three cars while shirtless and stealing a gold bracelet, five watches, a portable air compressor, money, car chargers and sunglasses from the cars.

Deputies said people living in the condominiums, where Rosselle also lives, reported Friday morning seeing a suspicious person pulling car door handles.

When deputies arrived, they said they saw Rosselle walking without a shirt behind a building and called to him, but he ran.

When deputies caught up with him, they said he told them he ran away from them because he had marijuana on him and he didn't want to get in trouble.

Rosselle later told deputies he went into multiple unlocked cars and took items.

He was charged with three counts of burglary, two counts of petty theft and one count of grand theft and was taken to the Martin County Jail. He was released Saturday on $10,500 bail.
