Man found only in neighbor's underwear waits for plea

Randall Joseph Giesbers

SALEM, Ore. - The man up on charges stemming from an August incident where a neighbor said she caught him in her garage, rifling through her dirty laundry and wearing only her bra and underwear will wait another month to make his plea.

Randall Giesbers’ plea hearing was to be Wednesday, Nov. 18. Instead it has been “set over” until 1:30 p.m., Dec. 16, in Marion County court. That means those involved in the case will have to wait another month before they hear from Giesbers as to whether he's pleading guilty or not guilty in this case.

The Salem man was arrested after the tip from his neighbor, who said she left her garage door open and she and her boyfriend caught Giesbers inside. Detectives then searched Giesbers home and his own garage. They said they confiscated enough stolen women's clothing, shoes, and underwear to fill seven trash bags.

The 47 year old now faces a number of theft charges. Marion County detectives said a lot of the stolen items came from his neighbor's home.

After searching the house, Deputies charged Giesbers with burglary, theft, criminal trespass and possession of illegal fireworks.
