Unfortunately this story comes from my home state of Alabama. A man at an apartment complex in Birmingham was caught on video playing “ding-dong ditch” while naked. He made the mistake of doing this to the security officer living on property, and he got his naked self caught on camera.
The security officer used a video doorbell system courtesy of Ring.com to catch this naked dude. The device can be operated from a smartphone app on your phones and/or tablets. Here is the footage:

The culprit has been identified as 37-year-old Brian Edward Balazik. He has been charged with burglary, theft of property, and indecent exposure.
Yes, this is a grown man playing ding-dong ditch while naked. The incident occurred at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, and he was arrested later that morning. He did not do it just once; the motion detectors caught him roaming the hallways multiple times. He was taken to jail and is being held on a $40,000 bond.
When the cops arrived he was found sitting on a golf cart with a small towel around his waist. He ran into his apartment, and police had come back with a warrant to get him out.
This is not his first brush with the law. He has had cops called on him for loud noise complaints in the past.
This man was caught stealing golf carts as well. He allegedly took these golf carts to a nearby facility. He was seen later in the day loitering at the local Red Mountain Park, but he was clothed at that point.
So, I guess this technology will probably make the “ding-dong ditch” game go extinct. Sorry, kids! But, if you do go on playing it, make sure you are wearing clothes or you will be sitting in jail with this guy.
