The case of the purloined panties is coming to an end. Brett Cooper pleaded guilty Monday to felony burglary and misdemeanor petit theft for stealing more than 200 pairs of women's underwear from local apartment complexes.
The 42-year-old man faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced. The sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
Cooper was nabbed — along with some with stolen knickers — Feb. 7 after someone reported a suspicious person at Colonial House, an all-women apartment complex that caters to students attending the private Mormon college, Brigham Young University-Idaho.
The responding officers discovered Cooper with three pairs of pinched panties in his pockets. Upon questioning, Cooper agreed to let the officers search his home and car, where they found more than 200 additional unmentionables.
A pre-sentence investigation hearing is scheduled for July 17.
