Police: Drunken man gets into dozing couple’s bed

PUTNAM TOWNSHIP, Mich.

Authorities say a Michigan couple got an unexpected visit from a drunken 27-year-old neighbor who wandered into their cottage and climbed into bed with them.

The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports that the man showed up in their Putnam Township bedroom around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

Police say the couple left and called 911, and that officers found the man deeply asleep with his shorts partly down.

Police say the intruder said, “This isn’t my house,” upon waking. He explained he went out drinking nearby after putting his 2- and 4-year-old children to sleep at his own home a few doors down.

The children were found sound asleep and placed with neighbors.

Their father was booked on suspicion of illegal entry and released on bond.

Police: Pa. man stole kitchen utensils, small dog

CORAOPOLIS, Pa.

A Pittsburgh man reportedly broke into a woman’s apartment while drunk and stole a potato peeler, a kitchen knife and a small dog.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for 24-year-old Garrett Stauber, who was arrested shortly after the burglary was reported about 3 a.m. in Moon Township.

Township police say a woman called 911 to report that Stauber kicked in her door, took the utensils out of her dishwasher, grabbed her dog then left.

A neighbor heard what was going on and briefly scuffled with Stauber, who was found sitting shirtless on a couch in his friend’s apartment in the same building where he had been staying recently.

Stauber, who doesn’t have a listed phone, faces a preliminary hearing Tuesday.

Police: Pharmacy worker quits, steals, leaves IOU

UNIONTOWN, Pa.

Police say a southwestern Pennsylvania man quit his pharmacy job, but not before stealing $697 and then leaving his boss a note on the cash register, complete with an IOU.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for 26-year-old Matthew Cumberland, of Uniontown, who also does not have a listed telephone.

Uniontown police say Cumberland quit his job at a Walgreens pharmacy in that city about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh on Saturday, apparently upset that he wasn’t getting enough hours.

Police say surveillance video shows Cumberland taking the money and that he left a note saying, among other things, “I quit this place” and “This place is a joke anymore” before adding, “P.S. IOU.”

Cumberland has yet to be arraigned on the theft charge police filed.
