Cops: Man claims bag of stolen goods just sex toys

[October 21, 2009]  SALEM, Mass. (AP) -- A man has been arrested for breaking into three cars after police spotted him carrying a suspicious bag he said was filled with his former wife's sex toys. Michael Conway was ordered Monday held on $5,000 cash bail for felony larceny. However, he was detained without bail on the probation violations.

According to a police report, the 34-year-old was seen by a Salem patrolman around 3 a.m. Monday walking around town with an empty bag. An hour later, police saw Conway with a full bag.

Conway told police he was carrying his former wife's sex toys. But inside police said they found credit cards, an iPod, a GPS device and a number of other items.

Conway interrupted his attorney at his arraignment to tell Salem District Court Judge Richard Mori he had a drug problem.
