WTF case gets a little more WTF, if that is even imaginable: Eric P. Stickney, a man arrested Thursday for allegedly pleasuring himself while he peeked through a fence to watch a female toddler playing in a kiddie pool, may call a storage closet at an El Segundo hotel his home.

Stickney, 28, was taken into custody at the Hacienda Hotel after a witness took a cellphone photo of him standing outside a fence and told authorities the man was masturbating while watching the child in the pool.

According to El Segundo police Lt. Raymond Garcia, "Stickney apparently has no home and was either living in a storage closet or on the Hacienda Hotel's roof," reports the Daily Breeze.

Oh, and bonus: Stickney also has been arrested in the past on suspicion of "breaking into occupied homes and stealing women's underwear while they were sleeping."
