A man caught by police early one summer morning in 2004 running naked and covered in nacho cheese pleaded guilty to burglary and four other charges on Monday.

Around 5 a.m. July 18, 2004, Michael David Monn Sr., 23, McCall Road, Maryville, ``was highly intoxicated, broke into the John Sevier Pool snack bar area, stole some snacks and did some damage and was caught naked with some stolen snacks,'' Blount County District Attorney General Mike Gallegos told the courtroom.

Officer Scott Spicer found Monn that Sunday morning in the parking lot of John Sevier Pool on Sequoyah Avenue. He apparently scaled an 8-foot-tall fence and was seen running toward a Jeep with a box of stolen snacks.

In addition to being naked, he had nacho cheese in his hair, on his face and on his shoulders, according to an interview with Spicer last year. He also had a strong odor of alcohol and was semi-incoherent, the officer said.

In his Jeep, Maryville officers found clothing and an open bottle of vodka.

Monn appeared before Blount County Circuit Court Judge D. Kelly Thomas and pleaded guilty to burglary, theft, vandalism, indecent exposure and public intoxication.

Under a plea bargain with the state, which prevented a trial, Monn was sentenced to three years through the Tennessee Department of Corrections, but was put on supervised probation. He was given a judicial deferral, which means that if he stays out of trouble for the next three years the charges will be expunged from his record.

Gallegos tacked some other requirements on the burglary sentence:

* Monn must make total restitution in the amount of $400 to Parks and Recreation Commission.

* He must also undergo a drug and alcohol assessment and agree to follow through with any treatment recommendations.

His other sentences will run concurrently with the burglary. Monn received 11 months and 29 days for theft, 11 months and 29 days for vandalism, 6 months for indecent exposure and 30 days for public intoxication.

One term of his probation will be doing community service.

Thomas warned Monn that if he violates the sentencing requirements, he will have to serve the sentence in a state penitentiary.
