MAPLEWOOD • A Kirkwood man is charged with two felonies after police say he broke into a Maplewood bakery, smeared jam throughout the store and stripped down to his boxer shorts.

"His behavior was odd, to say the least," said Maplewood Detective Sgt. John LeClerc.

Michael Brooker was found standing on Sutton Boulevard about 5:30 a.m. Monday. A passerby called police, thinking the stranger wearing only underwear was covered in blood and needed help.

Turns out, the "blood" was actually a pie filling.

LeClerc said Brooker had broken into Pie Oh My!, "tore the place up, threw jam or jelly onto paintings, all over the place," spilled cooking supplies and then took off his clothing. He then went across the street and broke a window at an architectural firm, LeClerc said.

When officers arrived, they didn't know about the pie shop yet. They figured Brooker had a medical issue and summoned paramedics, expecting he would be taken to a hospital.

Then, the pie shop owner walked out of her shop and told police what she found. Bakers are early risers, and she had come into her store to find the mess and men's clothing strewn about.
