A teen seen streaking through Port Charlotte, Florida's Town Center Mall has set off a bizarre criminal investigation.

It was a quiet day at the mall Saturday until 18-year-old Brandon Krueger was seen darting through wearing nothing but his birthday suit.

Krueger says he did out of boredom.

He was suspended in high school for doing the same thing, and it turns out law enforcement already knows his face as well.

He just got off probation for his role in stealing things from unlocked cars.

Krueger says the streaking was his latest stunt.

After it happened, mall security filed a report, but deputies didn't have any evidence, until the video of it all happening surfaced.

Krueger says he's sorry if his stunt offended anyone and that he regrets posting it online.

The joke will be over if deputies decide to cover the streaker up with a jail jumpsuit.

Although the teen admitted to us that he's the streaker, deputies still plan to continue investigating.

In the coming days, they'll do a photo lineup to see if mall security can positively identify Krueger as the streaker.

He could face misdemeanor charges for exposing himself in public.
