John Thomas Uda, 27, was taken into custody after allegedly breaking into the home of a woman and trying to rape her.
"The victim alleged that a male intruder came in and that she and the suspect fought physically," Dothan Police Lt.
Dothan Eagle. "She received minor injuries for which she received treatment at a local hospital."
While Uda ran off before the police arrived, investigators tracked him down by tracing a gaming console he previously stole from her and subsequently sold at a pawn shop.
When officers searched Uda's home, they found over 400 pairs of used women's panties. Officials said they are unsure if he stole them and suggested he may have purchased them online.
