TAMPA - A warm evening and a broken air conditioner prompted a 38-year-old woman to sleep naked with her window open Friday night.

She awoke to a tongue being slipped inside her ear by a stranger, whose body was partially inside the window. . . . "The woman ran through the house, calling to her aunt and two sons, ages 13 and 16. She donned a long white T-shirt and ran outside, where the man was walking near her front yard. Her oldest son grabbed the family's pit bull, Trinity, and chased the suspect a block to the Seminole Motel at 7200 N. Florida Ave.

Tampa police later arrested Moses Castillo, 34, of 8715 N. Ashley St., on charges of burglary, lewd and lascivious behavior and warrants for failing to appear in court"
