ST. LUCIE COUNTY — "God" got busted after sheriff’s officials say he burglarized a home in his boxer shorts, according to an affidavit.

The case, which likely would not be described as divine, began July 25 as a man and a woman were in their home on Palm Drive.

They told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s officials they heard a knock at the door. The woman opened the door and saw a man clad only in blue boxers.

The woman said the apparent blue boxer-wearing, door knocker was her neighbor.

She said he forced his way in, and got a few feet inside before they pushed him out.

She called 911 as the man “stood outside their front window looking into their house and yelling things,” the affidavit states.

Investigators knocked on the neighbor’s door, and a man in blue boxers opened it.

The man declined to identify himself, saying his name was “God.”

Further, the man said “God” was his date of birth.

“God” eventually said his name was Joseph Daniels, but declined to answer questions.

Daniels, 47, was arrested on charges of burglary of an occupied dwelling and resisting an officer without violence.

Daniels, of the 5300 block of Palm Drive, was taken to the St. Lucie County Jail.
