Two charged with burglary after homeowner finds them snoozing in her bed

YOUNGSTOWN — Two suspected burglars who were apparently too tired to finish stealing from a South Side home will be back in court next week.

Tyrone Gregory, 32, of West LaClede Avenue, and Rafaelle Daye, 38, of North Evanston Avenue, will appear Monday for a preliminary hearing before Judge Elizabeth Kobly of Youngstown Municipal Court.

Daye is charged with burglary and face charges on outstanding warrants for domestic violence and criminal trespass. She is in the Mahoning County Jail on a $75,000 bond.

Gregory is charged with burglary and facing outstanding warrants for not maintaining water and electric at a residence in the city. He is in the county jail on a $50,000 bond.

City police were sent to a home in the 2000 block of Summer Street on Sunday after a 27-year-old woman realized someone entered her home via a front window that had been shattered. The resident found her South Side home ransacked with personal belongings thrown everywhere, but what she found in a second-floor bedroom was most shocking.

The woman told officers she walked into bedroom and found Daye and Gregory sleeping in her bed. The woman called 911 and screamed at the two intruders, “What are you doing in my house?” Reports say Daye and Gregory awoke and simply walked out the front door.

Police arrested the pair less than a block away from the house.
